Generating PORTABLE Postscript from a Mac?

    Has anyone out there successfully printed Mac generated postscript
on a NeXT?  I'm having a strange problem where the font gets slightly
warped -- it is the correct font and all, but many of the characters
have a point in their outline translated to their origin.  Makes it look
like I got the page wet and smudged everything down and left.

    In addition, I have to prepend the line "%! foo" to the beginning
of the files to get them to print at all.  This prevents the NeXT from
trying to interpret the file as conforming postscript -- otherwise, I get
nothing at all (it complains about the "BoundingBox: ? ? ? ?" line).

    I've looked at macps and a couple of other packages out there that
are supposed to make this work, but none seem to deal with these particular
problems (most have added problems, actually).

    Please respond via email, as I have limitted news access.

    Thanks,
