I don't know of any PD version of this but the following info might be
helpful.  There is a screen capture program called Screen-to-Postscript
that will grab the text screen including the 128-254 character set and
print it on a Postscript printer (or generate an EPS file).  You might
be able to buy it from them - the program itself costs 49.95 dollars.
Their address is: Offe Enterprises, 1163 E. Ogden Ave, #705-131,
Naperville, IL 60563.  Phone: 708-357-6679. 

They also have another program that will capture the attributes (bold,
foreground/background color etc) into an EPS file.
