You might want to try the unAdobe utility (also available on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6) as info-mac/util/un-adobe.hqx).

UnAdobe doesn't convert the fonts to bitmaps, but it does extract the
postscript code from Type 1 faces; you can then include the code in your 
own postscript programs. Here's the blurb from unAdobe's header:

  unAdobe is an application that converts an Adobe type 1 font into printable
  ASCII characters that can be edited into a postscript document.  Written by
  Jerry Keough and Ted Ede of the Mitre Corp.

Hope this helps.
