Not as such.  The Mac stores most of the font file in the resource
fork, while the PC stores everything in one file.  I had problems
converting Mac format fonts to PC format a while back, and managed
to get a lot of info about the formats via the net.  If you want to
know what the different formats look like, I can mail you details
of them (if I can still find them :-)), as well as a quick C hack
to un-Mac a Mac format file.  This converts to vanilla Postscript,
_not_ DOS AFM format, but does allow downloading to printers.

Send me mail if you want any of the above.
