Sorry guys, maybe I should have been a bit more specific.  I really
wished I had Mac to do this on but I'm stuck with an IBM PC/AT clone.
So let me rephrase my question, is there software out there for
MS-DOS that will convert a Type 1 font to a Type 3 or is there
information on how this process is done so I can do the conversion
myself(if I really have to)?
