We have a custom font on our Sun system that we can use with the TeX
program we have on the Sun. I would like to use this font with TeXtures
on a Macintosh. The font on the Sun is in a 300dpi gf format and we have
the necessary programs to convert it to pk or px format. We also have a
.tfm file for this font on the Sun system. To use this font in TeXtures,
I think that I need to do two things

1. Create a Macintosh Font (suitcase) from the gf font.
2. Create a *TFM resource for the new font.

I'm hoping that someone out there has successfully ported a TeX font
to the Macintosh for use in TeXtures and will be able to give me the
assistance I need. Please respond via e-mail. I will summerize responses
if there is enough interest. Thanks everyone.

George
