A *very* good place to look for PostScript fonts for the Mac is the anonymous
ftp site at mac.archive.umich.edu.  There are two directories there which
hold PS fonts:  /mac/system.extensions/fonts/type.one.fonts and
/mac/system.extensions/fonts/type.three.fonts.  There's also a directory
for TrueType fonts, some of which have Type One counterparts.

Note for MS/DOS users:  this archive site also has a /msdos heirarchy, but
I don't know what sort of stuff they have in there.
