This is probably a FAQ, but ...

Is there any method available for translating a standard
Tex font into the format TeXtures uses on the macintosh?

I have a logo which has its own tfm and gf files and it 
is needed on a macintosh running TeXtures. However, I don't
have a metafont description. Does anyone know if tools 
exist to perform the desired translation?

Alternatively, can anyone show me (a metafont novice) how
to translate a bitmapped image into an mf file? I don't 
have the time to learn metafont, so quick and dirty is fine.
