Has anyone installed Blue Sky Research's Computer Modern  
PostScript fonts on the NeXT?  I'm trying to install the version  
Y&Y distributes.

I create ~/Library/Fonts and put a folder cminch.font in it.
Inside cminch.font is the outline file, cminch, and cminch.afm.
I then run buildafmdir ~/Library/Fonts.

The font shows up in the Font Panel, but it calls it
MINCH (drops the C) and says it is <<Unusable Font>>.

I've installed lots of other Adobe fonts using their font  
installer with no problems, but this is the first font I've  
tried to install by hand.

The instructions for how to install the BSR fonts can be found in the
"new" NeXT-TeX manual (i.e. the manual which will come with system 
3.0).  I have a copy if anyone wants it.  I've sent the instructions 
to Hal separately by E-mail, and perhaps he can post if there
are any difficulties in the installation.

Hope this is Helpful
