Just with respect to my experiments -- the original fonts are TrueType
fonts. I've created MS Word documents containing the relevant glyphs
A...Z, a...z, 0...9 (and a few others) and created a PDF document from
that using Acrobat 6 Standard (rather old admittedly). Finally I've used
Acrobat with "save as EPS" and "[x] convert TrueType fonts to PostScript
fonts" (or similar, I don't remember the exact phrasing) and extracted
the font information from that.

The result is then embedded as a PostScript level 3 font dictionary into
my programs, for example (showing just the "period" glyph):
