Probably easier is to go in the other direction, and use Postscript
fonts in TeX.

This is possible using dvips at least.  Of course you lose in that
Postscript fonts are fairly primitive compared to TeX fonts, but
hammering them into the TeX framework is easier than vice-versa. 

If you have to stick with the default TeX fonts then you have a problem;
even if you can translate the fonts into Postscript, unless you do an
enormous amount of work they will probably look even worse than
Postscript in TeX, for various reasons.
