Pardon the ignorance, but this is the first time I try to do this.
I found out about the sumex-aim Mac archive, and I downloaded some fonts.

For example I have:
	windsor-demi.hqx.Z

I have them in my hard disk. To uncompress it I use MacCompress3.2, and I get
an uncompressed file with no ".Z":
	windsor-demi.hqx

Then I have used Binhex5.0 to convert to a font file. I end up with
an untyped file with name:
	windsor-demi

How can I get the system to recognize this file as a font (or a program,
or document as applicable)?

I appreciate all your responses.....	Best regards,
