An undergraduate student in the School of Computer Science at McGill University, Sebastian Morovski, wrote open source code for assembling truetype files from an ascii format that can be edited with plain editors. This software runs on all platforms (Mac, PC, Unix) and is free. With a little bit of extra work, it should be straightforward to develop command line conversions from PostScript type 1 to truetype.
