Some years ago I made font containing our company logo using Fontographer
2.4.1 on a Macintosh. As I understand it, an Adobe type 3 font was
produced, i.e. plain postscript code.
I have several questions, as we have just bought an HP PaintWriter which
does not support PostScript.

- Is there any program that will make it possible for me to add color to
  my logo?
- Is there any program that will convert a type 3 font into a type 1 font,
  so I can use ATM?
- Do the Adobe type 1 fonts support color?
- If so, is there any chance that the color of my logo will appear on the HP
  printer using ATM and a type 1 font?
