My roommate and I wrote a program over the summer which allows you to
convert just about all your Macintosh type-1 PostScript fonts to a direct
Mac-usable form.  You don't have to go through any "weird" steps, just transfer
the files from a Mac (as a MacBinary file) to the NeXT, and then run our
conversion program on them.

NOTE: The AFM (Adobe Font Metric) files are necessary for the NeXT to 
recognize the fonts.  Also, the corresponding Macintosh bitmapped Suitcase
files are _NOT_ necessary.  Just the actual PostScript file, and the AFM
file.

Our program can be found at 'sonata.cc.purdue.edu', in the directory
/pub/next/source, filename 'mac-font2next.shar.Z'.  Complete instructions
are included in the file.

Hope this helps.  If you have any questions, just mail me.
