   I am interested in using the "standard" fonts provided with TeX in other
   word processing applications (like Microsoft Word or Framemaker) on my
   Apple Macintosh and on SUN workstations.

   Any ideas if it is possible to convert these fonts into usual Postscript
   fonts (and Bitmap fonts for the MAC) or if it is possible to buy these 
   fonts somewhere?

   By the way, I'm not a TeX-expert.

   Thanks in advance for any comments and sorry if this is a FAQ.

All of the fonts commonly used in TeX, such as the Computer Modern,
the AMS fonts, the LaTeX + SliTeX fonts, etc are available in ATM 
compatible Adobe Type 1 form for a variety of platforms including Mac, 
IBM PC, Unix & from Blue Sky Research in Portland Oregon or Y&Y in
Carlisle Mass.

One problem is that TeX fonts do not have a space character.  
You'll have to check whether this can be worked around in the particular
font set you are interested in.  TeX fonts also use the `control
character range' 0 -- 31.  But that is less of a problem.
