I'm confused.  I just got an "Adobe Type Library" and want to use this
sucker with a UNIX system.  I have added other fonts before (for devps)
but never an Adobe font.  The printer font is in a binary format (PFB
extension).  if I download it as is to the printer (along with a program
to print out the bounding box info, etc) it pukes.  My guess is that I
need to translate it to a "PFA" format.

Help.
