Are you saying you received AFM files from adobe.com?  That is not
very useful.  All you need the mac version of Adobe Fonts(expensive) ,
not the Font Matrix files(Free).  You can let NeXT to generate the AFM
files for you ( A wonderful netter mailed me a postscript tool ).
Most of the conversion works.  You can even convert those Mac type 3
fonts(generated by Fontgrapher2.3) and use them for display.  However,
I have trouble to get them to print on NeXT printers (Laserwriters are
fine).  Any suggestions?

I am still a little bit concerned about the copyright issue
on the fonts...  (BTW, you can grab some very nice shareware or PD ps
fonts from 35.1.1.43, read comp.fonts for more info...)
