The only mac-format cmr that I know of is that distributed with
Textures; I don't know if they'd be willing to sell them
separately but it's worth giving them a call if it's really
important to you (the number is 1-800-622-8398). HOWEVER, there
is one big problem: cm uses positions 32 and 13 (space and
carriage return) for visible glyphs and most Mac applications
assume that those spaces are empty and use a brain-dead printing
algorithim which ends up printing the characters in cm at those
locations.
