The previous post with this title was not from me but was from
a friend using my account.  If you could send your replies to
Jim.Muller@skef.slisp.cs.cmu.edu instead of me, we would both 
appreciate it.

    I am the proud new owner of a LaserJet IIP.
I was wondering what kind of utilities are available
for creating/manipulating soft fonts.  I am considering
writing a TeX to PCL font converter (has this been done
already?).  I am also interested in any PD (or similar)
Softfonts that are available as well.

Thanks for your time

There is a large selection of PD soft fonts in the mims-iris font archive,
reachable by ftp at mims-iris.waterloo.edu, or by mailing to font-server@
mims-iris.waterloo.edu.  Specifically, the directory /fonts/sfp/cm contains
the Computer Modern fonts from TeX, as converted by Rich Wales.  Take a look.
