Well, I can't help you with Bembo, but the latest edition of the Adobe
Type Library Catalog mentions that a whole set of Janson fonts will be
included in the next set of fonts released by Adobe.  They work with the
LaserWriter, and they come in Mac or PC format.

If you don't have the aforementioned catalog, you will almost certainly
want to get one.  It is a fantastic showpiece of digital typography.  Much
more than just a type catalog, it has lots of useful information on
other aspects of typography.  Just call Adobe at (415)852-0271 and ask
them to send you one.  And while you're at it, ask them to send me one.
I had to look at a friend's copy.

P.S.  I have absolutely no connection with Adobe Systems.  I am merely an
      admirer who is nevertheless irritated because they keep dropping me
      from their mailing list.  I didn't know it was even possible to get
      dropped from *any* mailing list, but it happens with them.  Maybe if
      I start calling them asking to be dropped, they will keep me on
      forever.  It seems to work with everyone else.
