[comp.windows.x] Converting bdf fonts to postscript

jdb26@chemabs.UUCP (11/17/90)

I'm looking for a tool to magically convert an X font in
bdf format to a postscript font for printing purposes.
Does such a beast exist?

The reason for this is that we have a custom font with
special characters that we use in some X applications, and
now we need to support printing these special characters.

If no tool exits, any other suggestions would be welcome.
I'm currently looking into creating a postscript font on
the Mac with Fontographer and then uploading it to my
unix box.  Will this work???  Step by step instructions
would be great!
