I have somthing I picked off the net years ago - I didn't
write it. If the author reads this I am happy to credit them
with their work, but in the meantime:

page works fine on most subfont files.
it sometimes objects to subfont files which

'page'. font files are just bitmaps. some alpha-blended, but still
bitmaps. cd /lib/font and look around.

One might make a script to create a troff file that includes some
sample text for each font in /lib/font, and make a postscript out of
it.

Does anyone remember how the Plan 9 font files came to be? I'm going to go out
on a limb here and bet that some poor soul didn't enter them by hand...
I'd also wager that they weren't created
there's bdf2subf from Skip's collection: http://www.9netics.com/who/fst/
