MacOS creates NONSTANDARD PostScript specific to the LaserWriters.
Get a copy of ~ftp/info-mac/unix/macps-22.shar from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

Note that a lot of Mac stuff assumes the presence of the 35
outline fonts standard with the LaserWriter II, and will not
display or print properly on the NeXT unless/until you have more
than the "bare minimum" NeXT currently supplies!  If you're
generating your own documents, stick to Helvetica, Times,
Courier, and Symbol.  (Yes, I know "everyone" uses New Century
Schoolbook on the Mac...)
