Does anyone Out There know of a utility or technique for producing
anyone of {Postscript, TrueType, PDL or outline} font from a bitmap
font? (Put another way, is there a way to convert a bitmap font to
something that, oh say an HP Deskwriter -- to use as an example the
printer I'm using -- could use to best efficiency?) I know programs
like SuperPaint and Canvas can "auto-trace" a bit-mapped item and
produce an outline-object. What I'm interested in is something that
could take the one more step and do whatever-needs-doing to create a
printer font from that outline-style result.
