Well, let's see.  15 is really an odd size; perhaps you could use 14?
(it's only 1/72" difference).

However, do not despair if you really don't want to use 14.  Get your
self a copy of FONTastic from MacConnection (it's cheapest there for
about $27).  Use the SCALE option to make a 15pt from the 14pt.  Touch
up the new 15pt because Scaling will make a couple of jaggies.  Now
just use it like any other font.  The PostScript version of the font
doesn't care what sizes you send it since all PS fonts are scaled from
one size anyway.  So, choose 15pt (if your processor is smart enough
to recognize odd-sizes) and edit away.

If your processor doesn't recognize odd-sizes, you may have to fiddle
with some resource stuff.  Some of the more experienced
application-resource hackers will have to help you with that.
