I found documentation of the PC and MAC formats in a file on the Adobe
server, and finally came up with a ssetup to transfer the fonts without
having to use any commercial software...

If anyone is interested in the process, let me know. I'm working on a
revision of my translation program (if I have time) which take a little
more of the tediousness out of the translation process...

(If you're curious, I had to write a program that took UnAdobe output
from the mac and reassembled it into PC format - the only problem I've
run into so far the makes it tedious is that many of the fonts I have
have the header "%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0" and from the discussions of WFNBoss 
(Corel Draw) I've gathered that the header should be
"%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: <Fontname> <version>"...)

I still have to build the .INF files for the fonts, but I cooked those
down to the 5 basic lines you need to have and things work fine.
