I've heard rumors about a program to convert metafonts to PostScript.  Anyone
hear of a program to do the opposite: PostScript (Adobe Type-1) to Metafont?

I have a homemade PostScript font I'm interested in converting to Metafont.
I realize that I won't get nice parameterizable Metafont programs, but I'd just
like to generate some bitmaps for use with previewers.

Anyone know of any PostScript (type-1) bitmap generators that run under Unix
and are public domain?  This would be more direct.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
