Hi.

I know this is maybe not the best place for this - please forgive any transgression...

I'm running OS/2 1.3 (yeah, I know - boo, hiss, yechh ;-) and they've included Adobe Type Manager (oh Boy!).  What I'm trying to do is use NeXT and Mac Adobe fonts (type 1) with OS/2.  It says quite clearly in the manual that I need _both_ the *.AFM and *.PFB files for each font type.  Unfortunately, all the fonts I've seen for the Mac and NeXT in the PD (ShareWare too) include an *.AFM file and maybe a bitmap file (*.bmap on NeXT, dont know what it is/if it is on Mac), but no *.PFB.

Do any Adobe gurus out there know what I have to do to use these fonts? (besides scrapping the PC and scoring a NeXT/Mac, I mean - I'm already working on that one :-)

Thanks alot!
