Yes there is, but you need tfm files for the postscript files and a
special version of dvi2ps (ours is called dvips) that knows about
the postscript files (to not go look for pk or pxl files for them).

The version we have (don't know where it came from, but may not be
public domain) has rather small spaces, so you need to increase the
\fontdimen2 and \fontdimen3. The width of a space is based on algorithms
that will only stretch lines, not shrink them like Tex does.

Paul.
