Well this is true if what you want is a typeface provided by Adobe (there  
are lots of others in the world...).

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..."
