Message-ID: Date: 15 Mar 91 04:54:37 GMT Sender: usenet@lucid.com Organization: Lucid, Inc., Menlo Park, CA Lines: 9 I have a figure in TeX metafont format that I want to modify; are there any programs that will convert this to a reasonable PostScript description? If I just TeX the thing, it produces PostScript which includes the definition of a type 1 font, which is not a very easy-to-deal-with format... So I'm looking for something that will either convert metafont files to a PostScript description of lines, arcs, and fills, or failing that, a program that will decompose a type 1 font in the same way. Any ideas? -- Jamie
