Question concerning downloadable fonts

I recently received the (supposedly) PostScript font MacHumaine from Stanford.
I really like the way it looks on screen, but when I try and print it
all I get is a very poor bitmap.  I'm printing from a Mac Plus to a Laser-
Writer IINTX using both WriteNow and PageMaker.  PM even claims that it is
downloading the font when it prints, but it is still not coming out PostScript.
Is there a special way I have to install it using Font/DA Mover?  Is one of the
document files that comes with the font a special resource I need to do 
something with?  I've never used a downloadable PS font before (obviously), and
would appreciate any help you netters could give me.  Thanks...
								Blake
