Or, you could look for the free font released by Adobe a few months
back called Cheq.  Type 1 PostScript laser font.  I grabbed a copy
off of one of the newsgroups here; I don't remember which one, but
it wasn't comp.binaries.mac.  It should be available from sumex, and
maybe from the archive server at adobe.com.

And you don't have to buy 40 other Adobe fonts to get it....:-)
