I am having some decals made for my bike. Right now, the images consist
of POV-Ray bezier spline prisms and a ttf I purchased. The former can be
translated easily enough to a vector format, but I'm not sure about the
latter. I'd hate to have to open each letter in font forge and manually
extract the geometry information.
Is there a better way?

Use the text primitive? It does precisely what you want: Create a prism
using the given ttf file, with the given text characters.

That's exactly what I've done, but the printer is requesting the logos
in vector (not image) format. I believe there are font formats which are
equivalent to vector formats, but I want something I can combine with my
existing vector graphics. That's why I'm asking for prisms.
I have converted prisms to vector graphics in the past.

I'm not sure about your work flow, but you can convert a text object to
a vector path using Inkscape. Select the text object then go to: Path >
Object to path.
It sounds like you are trying to recreate a logo you made in POV-Ray.
You might want to render it first, then use it as a background object
inside Inkscape so you can position the text. I've done a lot of this
kind of work with Illustrator.

Glad I could help.
