I need to download Adobe fonts from Unix.  We have several
available and the target device is an Apple LaserWriter Plus.

The fonts are in MS-DOS format so I have the binaries (*.PFB)
and the metrics (*.PFM).

I have talked with someone at SoftQuad in Toronto who has
explained the process, but before I go hacking, I'd like to
know if this has already been done.

I have the utilities for creating width tables and so forth for
troff, so that is not a problem.

Please respond via email.
