Possible solutions to get bitmaps from Type 1 fonts: 1. Buy a Macintosh and ATM---they will do what you want directly. 2. Buy a PC with Windows and ATM---they will do what you want directly. 3. Buy an Amiga and get the PD Post---it will do what you want directly. 4. Buy a NeXT---it's got the interpreter built-in. Now, as for converting the bitmaps into a format that your previewer wants, the various TeX programs (like GFtoPK) should give you a good head start. As for the legality of using and/or distributing bitmaps derived from such Type 1 fonts, I refer you to your licensing agreement and a lawyer. -tom

A 5th alternative (besides the 4 suggested recently by Tomas Rokicki):
get Ghostscript and let it do the rendering for you. Looks awful at
small point sizes, good at large ones. (Small points sizes will look
a lot better in the next release, though -- I found a simple hack to
undo most of the extra boldness.)
