Mac fonts are very similar to GS fonts. I think the GS fonts have an extra
header at the beginning. There is supposedly a program called Font Munger that
will convert Mac fonts to GS fonts, but I've never seen it around.

>(2) Where does one usually find fonts for sale or in the public domain, anyway?

Fonts can be found in many places... check out America Online, Genie, maybe
CIS. Also, special fonts are often for sale in Mac magazines.
