converting Opentype to ASCII (for groff)

I'm trying to convert different versions of helvetica neue from Opentype to ascii so that groff can use them in conjunction with VI (I believe everything is printed to postscript after). Ultimately i need to be able to use these specific helvetica fonts in VI, but in order to do this i must convert the opentype format. Can anyone direct me? Thanks
