Subject: PostScript->Bitmap for StyleWriter?

Is there some way to get high quality output from a program like FreeHand on a
non-postscript printer (specifically, we have a stylewriter)?  One thought that
has occured to me was to wonder if there was a program available that would
interpret PostScript output and produce a bitmap at a given resolution (360 dpi
for this case - even 300 would be welcome).  I can of course get high quality
normal text via TrueType and simple things like boxes look fine, but when I
start using things like rotated text it doesn't look good printed.  I know such
PostScript-interpreting programs are available for the Amiga (as shareware
even!) - I'd like to know if something comparable, even if it's commercial,
exists for the Mac.  Alternate solutions are welcome (i.e. am I missing
something obvious here?).

Thanks....
