I'm trying to include some HP Laserjet font downloading features into
psroff, and I'm looking for a source of HPLJ fonts....

The easiest from my point of view is to take some of the Public Domain
fonts that come with TeX (I have megatons of PK format files), and
convert them, either at run-time, or at distribution time, into HP
download sequences.

Does anyone have a program to convert PK files to HP Laserjet downloadable
fonts?  Preferably PD so I could distribute it with psroff.  Failing that,
does anybody have a description of the PK file format so I can roll my
own converter?  We have gillions of bytes of TeX distribution without any 
PK format description I can find (or read).

Thanks,
