A question concerning eexec decryption.   
The font I have is from Macintosh ATM.   I have moved the font data
from the resource fork of the font file to a plain text file.  The
question I have concerns the eexec encrypted portion.  

This particular file contains binary data (not hexstring data) after
the eexec call.  Following the Type1 spec for decryption yields
garbage.  What I need to know is if there is any extra or different
encryption of eexec portions on different platforms (i.e. are fonts
aimed at Windows ATM different from fonts aimed at Mac ATM..  

Are c1/c2/key constant accross *all* fonts/platforms?

The ultimate goal of this exercise is to give GhostScript true outline
fonts as opposed to the bitmap outlines which it currently uses.

thanks in advance for any info..
