Tom: Shouldn't this file be sent raw to the printer? I seem to recall I was working on signature fonts and was able to easily print the font to the printer in some kind of raw mode. I can't find my notes on the process but I think I used something like:
lpr -PMyPrinter -bMyFont.spf This sent the job to the printer, raw, without any preprocessing. Maybe this is your issue.
