Does anyone know of a place that will print
PostScript documents on a typesetter? We are
looking at a 250 (or so) page book done with TeX.
I could find no ads for such a place in TUGboat,
although I suppose the places have no real reason
to advertise there.

The reason for going with PostScript (many places
can print DVI files on a typesetter) is the fonts --
I noticed Adobe has released free copies of the
LaserWriter+ (at least) fonts for screens,
at least they are on sumex.stanford.edu in Mac format.
Hence my second question -- does anyone know
of a program running on Unix that reads Mac fonts and turns them into
GF/PK/PXL files (anything that reads Mac fonts
would be a help).

Thanks. Please respond via mail; I'll summarize if necessary.
