Alexander--
We've been through this before...search the list archives for the
discussions. There are no ps versions of the MusiXTeX fonts. There
apparently is some expensive software that could be used to convert them.
It's apparently a hands-on operation, and there are dozens of fonts that
need to be dealt with. I could not get any of the pdftex gurus to take the
bait, mainly because of the large number of fonts. I gave up, but you are
welcome to pursue this. Although it would seem an obvious task since both
.mf's and Postscript fonts are initially defined as vector fonts, the
attempt to write a public-domain mf-to-ps automatic converter sometime
within the last decade never got to the stage where it was usable.
