You can also use MetroTools to convert Mac fonts and install them for use  
on your NeXT. We have had tremendous results as our users have attested:

"Just thought I'd post a note praising a product.  I'd downloaded about 12
megs of fonts from sonata and other sources, but couldn't get them  
installed.  I finally used MetroTools from Metrosoft which did the job  
easily.  The version is the new one which the folks at MetroSoft provided  
me (I had the pre-release) and they walked me thru the problem...good  
support, good product.  I now have a zillion working fonts..."
