(Legally speaking) The only thing to beware of is that some 'conversion' programs interpret the font program to get the character outline points, and then write out something that is supposed to be equivalent in another format. This may loose hinting and character quality. A Mac - NeXT format conversion program should convert the font program uninterpreted. It takes less than 100 lines of code to do so.
