I have some PostScript type 1 fonts from a Mac and I would like to try using
them with GhostScript.  Unfortunatly GhostScript only understands the eexec
section in hex format but the fonts I have have a binary eexec section.  I 
have tried bashing it into hex in various dumb ways but I can't get anything
to work.  (E.g. the recently posted pfb2pf program doesn't work, the Mac fonts
don't have those "ascii section"/"binary section" markers).

Anybody have any clues?
