OK -- This will be great; However, I suppose we will still need some
glue scripting, though. Also, I have the impression (not sure, though)
that the parmesan files will need a lot more work, since they use
shaped pens. Have you investigated that?  I am not too fond of
requiring two parallel mechanisms for creating Type1 fonts
simultaneously.
