There's a group on campus that has made the "Goudy" font, their
standard document font. When they send me a document they 
include the font as part of the document, since they know its
not installed in every printer on campus. They apparently have
licensed Goudy for the whole campus. There are Adobe and Allied
copyright notices in the font header.

The problem is that although it will print on my Apple LW NTX,
I can't preview Goudy on my Sun. When I inspect the document
I see it is a FontType 1, and the guts of it is a long eexec.

I don't know exactly what a FontType 1 is, the Adobe redbook
only talks about type 3.

My impression that any eexec code is Motorola and Adobe specific
and will not run on anything but a Motorola based Adobe Postscript
controller. Is that correct?

Finally, is there a more portable version of Goudy?
