Most of the work for (re)building devps font description files from original
sources has already been done: see comment 31 of bug #63018. That comment
ends with unresolved questions.
Comment 36 over there gives this context: "Bug #65698 is about maintainer-mode
targets for updating _afmtodit_, _hpftodit_, and _tfmtodit_ to contain
whatever refreshable information we want to include in them." That task is
"likely a prerequiste for" the current ticket, which is "for _different_
maintainer-mode targets that produce font descriptions we check into the
repository and ship in distribution archives describing the 'stock' fonts we
expect to support for PostScript, LJ4, and DVI output devices."
