Cufon to Font Face conversion


I work with different languages quite a lot and I have a font face file on a site I'm working on that doesn't support all the glyphs needed for that language. I do however have a cufon file of the same font that has these glyphs in and I would like to be able to use this file to create another font face file so it has all the glyphs I need.

Ideally I would have the original font file with all the glyphs in so I could just do it using font squirrel or whatever but that would bake my job far too easy :P

If anyone knows of a way to either convert a cufon file to font face or how to decompile cufon to give you back the original font that would be really helpful.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't possible due to font licensing issues. If such a tool existed, then it would be very easy to 'steal' fonts from other websites without paying for them.
