   OK that does it.  Can anyone tell me where I can get the specs. for the
TrueType format?  If no one else is working on it, then I'd sure like to
make a go at making a GS tool to support it.  I see that the System 7 fonts
are available on ftp.apple.com, so I've got some test data.  I assume that
Apple would have no complaints about this (except that it might show up the
Mac).  Anyone else interested in working on this project (again, if no one
else is already working on it), I would be pleased to hear from you.
