Hello!

Sorry for posting this mail  to your address (which is  probably the
wrong one), but it is the only one I know where to send the follwing
questions. Please  forward it to to  somebody familiar with  the GNU
GhostScript Interpreter and PostScript fonts.

For a special graphical application I need the analytical
outline description of a font similar to to the PostScript
Avant Garde or Helvetica fonts (something like a path
description with lineto and arcto commands).

Is there a font library available together with the
    GNU GhostScript Interpreter?
Is there a possibility to extract this kind of outline
    description from an existing font library?
Or is there a way to get the PostScript sources of
    a font definition?

Thanks very much.
