Here is another way:

Assuming you have access to ditroff (AT&T's device independent troff),
there is a program on the net "tpscript" that converts the troff codes
to postscript.  I have it running in my directory.  You can get it
from archive #13 of comp.sources.unix.

It is quite a pig; every character is positioned separately on the
page, but this is the fault of ditroff, not tpscript.  It is
tailored for the Apple laserwriter, but works o.k. on our imagens
with Ultrascript (although the symbol font needs to be in italics,
anyone have a fix??!!!!!)
