Steve.. there's a new EASY way to FTP all the wunnerful fonts from
the U-M.. try ftp'ing to mac.archive.umich.edu (another name that
might work for your domain-name-server, same machine.. different
name.. is FTP.IFS.UMICH.EDU).. cd to /archive/mac/system.extensions/font
and you're at the top of macintosh font heaven... (sorry, I don't have the
numeric address off hand... I posted it a few articles ago...)
  
you can also get instructions from um.cc.umich.edu by ftp'ing
anonymously and then typing "get do/download2 instructions.text"..
(after typing "cd PC2:" of course..).. "ls"  and "dir" DO work, they
just take an incredibly long amount of time to get down the pipe..
  
as always.. e-mail me comments.. I'm always eager to help (if I can..)
