Subject: Converting PFB files to `standard' PostScript

I have some Adobe type 1 PostScript fonts in a .PFB format. I would
like to be able to download these typefaces with the document, i.e.,
rather than download them to the printer at the start of a job/day, 
I would like to load them down with the PostScript document.

Does anyone have a program that converts these PFB files into `standard'
PostScript? Anything under VMS, Unix (Ultrix), DOS, or Mac would be 
appreciated. I know that programs such as Pagemaker will do it, but
I can't figure how of the Aldus prep I need to get it to work
properly with programs other than Pagemaker (I am using TeX).
