There is a program called FONTZ! from Neocept which can convert Mac screen
fonts into GDOS fonts. IT costs about $40.

FONTZ! has a couple of restrictions. You can only have one font size in the
MAc font.

FONTZ! can covnert Amiga fonts as well.

FONTZ! is very good if you use GDOS programs.

Look for GPLUS from Codehead Software. GPLUS is a fast replacement for the
Atari GDOS.
