[comp.lang.postscript] TeX font to PostScript

operator@cs.mcgill.ca (operator) (05/24/91)

I have a graphic that was handed down to me from ancient times drawn as
the first four characters of a TeX font. Is there any simple way 
(or otherwise) that I can convert this TeX font to a PostScript font
and render the graphic from there?

If I cannot convert font->font is there any other way of converting
this graphic without losing resolution?

Thanks.

If the font is in PK format, you can use pk2ps in the psroff 3.0
distribution to convert it into a postscript font.  If it's not in PK,
perhaps something in the TeX distribution (gf2pk etc.) can be used to
convert it to a PK, then use pk2ps.
