	It's probably dumb for me to say this as it shows my total lack
of knowledge on the subject.. and I might be just plain wrong, but..

	In my brief perusals of the ToolBox manuals (1&2) I remember reading
something that described the Mac fonts vs. the IIGS fonts.. It seemed that
the only difference was that one field that the Mac had at the beginning
of a font file was not used on the GS.. Thus it would be easy to convert.

	Maybe you can look it up and get some useful info out of this
idea.
