Our lab has a couple of Adobe PostScript fonts for our Macintosh.
Each came with two parts...
  1.  A set of screen fonts (use Font/DA mover to install into System)
  2.  PostScript fonts (Just pop these in the System Folder to install)
The fonts can be accessed like any other font in programs such as 
MS Word.

My question is...
  How would one go about creating their own PostScript font which could
be popped into the System Folder and accessed just like one of these Adobe
fonts?

If it helps we have a LaserWriter II NTX (<- I think it's NTX) connected
to a small network of Mac SE's and Mac II's.

I don't get a chance to read these groups often so e-mailed replies
would be helpful

Thanks
