You might also contact Giampa Textware (604-253-0815 - ask for John
Frame) in Vancouver, British Columbia. The are using the Ikarus system to
port brass fonts to Mac's, and (soon, I understand) PC's too....
I neither work for or with Giampa, and have no interest in the company, but
did get an opportunity to see their work and found the process fascinating..
they have apparently secured the rights to a huge number of old fonts, and
are now in the (very tedious) process of converting each and every one of
them....
