Hm. Not yet I'm afraid. I did the same trick on the cbgreek fonts and Claudio Beccari
and Syropulos, those who work on these fonts, pointed out that the fonts which
resulted were seriously flawed. Ligatures in particular seem very difficult for
TeXTrace, so where are they in feta? Test them! Therefor, for feta too, extensive
testing is necessary.
Furthermore, Syropulos said that there are also people working on procedures based on
metapost to Type1. There seems to be a script around called mf2pt1 which does this. I
would prefer this, because such a procedure would take the mf instructions really into
the type1, whereas the TeXTrace procedure uses the *output* of mf (really the pk font)
as a bitmap and derives vectors from it. This is not the ideal way, although it seems
to works relatively good for the feta fonts.
But it is a first step, of course, and I as well as you are glad that I can produce
beautiful pdf :-)
