Has anyone out there used downloadable Adobe fonts with troff?
I am using SoftQuad troff and have several MS-DOS format Adobe
fonts available for use.

The binary fonts that come with the Adobe distribution are not
in the proper format.  I know from talking to SoftQuad that
they have to be converted before they are downloaded.  Does
anyone have the programs/tools for doing this?

SoftQuad has the tools to generate the width tables and so
forth for troff, so I don't need any help on that end.  I just
need to be able to download the fonts so I can begin building
the width tables.
