Call Blue Sky Research at (800) 622-8398. Talk to Doug Henderson, the
MF coordinator of the TeX Users Group. As a registered user, you will
be sent a set of MF utilities free of charge (the catch is that these
are MPW tools, so you will need MPW to use them). Included is a
tool to convert pk to Mac fonts.

Gerald Edgar (edgar@mps.ohio-state.edu) distributes a free program
called pktor to do the same conversion.  However, I found that newer
versions of TeXtures will not recognize some of the converted fonts.
