We've done this with a few fonts under the DECWindows Display PostScript
extension -- the procedure should be essentially the same, since the core
interpreter is essentially the same. We had the additional task of cobbling
up BDF files for the bitmaps -- some information that BDF expects isn't present
in the Mac format.

The biggest problem we ran into is the Fontographer likes to produce fonts
that define things in userdict. This is a nono, but works on a printer. It
doesn't do anything good in DPS.
