	There's already a program out there that will convert Mac fonts from
suitcase format to Amiga format.  It really works nice except for the difference
in how the Mac figures font sizes vs. how the Amiga figures fonts sizes, and 
that's no big deal.
	It should be on an OLD fish disk.  I think it used to circulate as
CONVERT.ARC, or some such.

	As far as Amiga font formats, you can get that kind of info from the
RKM's.
