[comp.lang.postscript] uploading bitmap info from printer

ilh@winnie-the-pooh.mit.edu (I. Lee Hetherington) (02/06/91)

I'd like to get some bitmap versions of a Type-1 font of my own design.  I know
that I need a PostScript interpreter to interpret the font outlines to produce
bitmaps.  Does anybody know if it is possible to use the interpreter in the
printer to produce the bitmap for a particular letter (or any graphics for that
matter) and *upload* back to the computer?  Anyone ever hear of such a thing?

Thanks for any help!
