As you can read in the followup that I just posted, yes, the fonts I have were indeed converted from fonts generated by Altsys Fontographer. It's a little difficult to examine the fonts to see if they meet Apple specifications, since the specifications are PROPRIETARY and obtainable only under license. TrueType sucks!
