I have downloaded some PD fonts from mac.archive, but I'm not intending to use them on a Mac. I'd like to unpack them for use in UnixTeX, ideally, or to try out as screen fonts under OpenWindows 3.0. I also grabbed and compiled macunpack, hexbin, and t1utils. I'm just a little confused about how to proceed further, after checking the download, for example, %>macunpack -i goudymedieval.cpt folder="GoudyMedieval" name="GoudyMed", type=LWFN, author=ACp1, data=0, rsrc=21046 name="GoudyMedieval_Fonts_TT", type=FFIL, author=DMOV, data=0, rsrc=28381 name="GoudyMedieval.AFM", type=TEXT, author=aCa2, data=4379, rsrc=0 name="GoudyMedieval.bmap", type=FFIL, author=DMOV, data=0, rsrc=8532 leaving folder "GoudyMedieval" %> What are all these pieces? What are they worth to me? Please help! Will I need the .bmap *and* .AFM files? Will just the .AFM do? What should I use for macunpack arguments to make the result readable on Unix (SunOS 4.1.1b)? Should I just pipe it to afm2tfm? I've already gone a few weeks back into comp.fonts newsgroup, and couldn't find anything relevant. I've also excavated comp.lang.postscript, comp.text.tex, comp.sys.sun.admin, and the font info on mac.archive. I can ftp/telnet/mail/news to receive the answers, and I'll post a summary for inclusion to the FAQ (which I also read already).
