So, I bought the red PostScript book, and I got a copy of GhostScript. It
only has one font, aptly named uglyfont. I'm a-wondering... there are all
those MetaFont font descriptions floating around out there... is there
a program that will take a Metafont description and produce PostScript
code to draw the characters, suitable for making a font definition out of?

If there is, is it free and available via uucp/ftp? (uucp preferred, I can't
ftp myself but I have friends who can.)

Or do I have to write it myself?

Please, if you post a response, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A Distribution: HEADER IN IT,
because my newsfeed's newsfeed is, for reasons unknown, not forwarding articles
that don't have them, so I might never see your article.
