If you already own the FrameMaker desktop publishing program for Suns, you
can request filters which convert Fontastic-generated bitmapped fonts and
Fontographer-generated outline fonts from a Macintosh to a Sun.  We got
them for free with our copy of FrameMaker and they work.  Frame Technology
Corp., 408-433-3311.  However, if you don't already own FrameMaker, I
think it sells for around $2500 to commercial customers.
