We want to put a cyrillic font on the NeXT machine.  Has anyone
tried porting an existing type 3 font to the NeXT?

Under Display PostScript, one needs (1) the outline routines
and (2) the AFM (Adobe font metric) file.  I assume these are
available from Mac vendors.

Display PS also can make use of bitmaps for representing 
characters on-screen at sizes less than 24 points.  
Has anyone generated such bitmaps on the NeXT, either from
scratch or by porting them from the Mac?  Are there any
utilities for such porting?

there are at least two vendors who offer cyrillic fonts for
the Mac.  Hence I'm wondering if anyone knows about moving
Mac postscript fonts (type 3 or even type 1) over to
Display PS.

thanks very much
