Sure.  Under SR9.7, the X release contained a little utility called
"gpr2bdf" that performed the necessary conversion.  I converted all the
Display Manager fonts with no problems.  Since then, this little utility
has vanished from the X release (but not from my disk :-).  Anyone from
HP/Apollo want to comment?
