I have a Mac type font that I want to convert to use on a Sun
Sparcstation.  I have tried using the public domain fontcvt program but it
crashes when run with this font.  The problem appears to be that this Mac
type font is a bitmap font and fontcvt must expect another font type.

Does anyone know of public domain software to convert this bitmap Mac type
font to one that can be used on a Sun?  Thank you for any information you
can provide.
