Fontforge is said to do quite a decent job of autotracing (actually potrace does the tracing) TeX bitmap fonts, since these are so high resolution.

See "Autotracing" the Fontforge manual! -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot (Max Weinreich) -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot (Max Weinreich)
