Reposting because it seems this fascinatin question didn't
escape the local machine...

Have: Adobe font package for PC, containing binary screen files
with suffix ".afb".

Want: to install these on NeXT using "prebuild" and "screenafm"
commands, but these want "Adobe Character Bitmap Distribution
Format (CBDF)" files, suffix .cbdf? 

Question: can I get from the former to the latter, or do I
need to re-buy this font in another format, or what?

Thanks for any comments,
  Dave Cortesi
