At first sight, this seems improbable. xpdf *may* do it, in general, but then it needs to have a bitmap font file around somewhere ... and that can't really be expected for anything but the standard PDF typefaces (Times, Helvetica, etc.).
However, if there really is such a bitmap font file around, the result is very likely to look better -- the raster glyphs would typically have been hand tuned.
