The font's themselves are Mac NFNTs.  This is a well known format and some
of the tools that work with fonts can convert to/from mac NFNT.  This is an
older bitmap format.  If you can find the fonts in the ROM, you can extract
them to a flat file with PRCExplorer.  Do some magic to get them into MacOS
resource fork format, and them convert to true type.  It maybe ugly, but it
should work.

The real question will be "is it legal"?  Who owns the rights to those
fonts?
