Could someone at NeXT or Adobe or wherever please tell me how to make a
font for the NeXT?  I asked questions of ask_next@next.com, and got no
satisfaction.  Is it practical to hand-code the thing?

I have called Altsys, and they say that Fontographer outputs type 3 font
files but that the NeXT needs type 1.  Altsys said that their new
version of Fontographer (3.1) will output type 1 fonts but that NeXT's
type 1 isn't standard--they're having trouble with the high 128
characters.

Is there any wise sage out there who can direct someone in need of
making fonts for Armenian, Arabic, Greek, etc?

Thank you very much!

Roland
