New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm looking for someone to convert a Type 1 font to IBM's proprietary AFP format for use on a mainframe printer (IOW, variable data). the catalog of fonts in AFP format is surprisingly limited (as far as our rep has informed me). fortunately, I was able to uncover enough info about AFP to learn that Type 1 can be repackaged in such a way that it will work on this platform.
as always, our timeline is virtually non-existant, so any info would be much appreciated.

Look here. This appears to be exactly what you're looking for, but I'm not sure about licensing issues.

BitFonter can import and export in AFP format:
