Anybody seen a NeXT compatible version of

	Optima-Medium

Adobe/RightBrain has Optima and Optima-Bold, but I cannot locate a Mac, PC
or unix font vendor that has Optima-Medium.  My intuition tells me that
it is one of those 'exists only on "blah"-compatible typesetting systems'. 

It seems that our corporate 'signature' is done in this
font, and if I am to use our NeXTs as a DTP system, I have
to have that font.  Our Mac people have a bitmap image of all
our signatures, which is fine, but thay are over 10 mbytes in size
(the bitmaps are set for 1200dpi), and I am hoping for a
better solution, at least until things like WordPerfect and
Concurrence support the ability to easily soft-link .eps files.

If anybody knows of a place that is the definitive source for postscript
fonts, and/or knows where Optima-Medium can be had, I would appreciate
an e-mail.
