Could you let me know how to do it? If I need some utlities, I can send you a Mac disk because I don't have direct access to usenet. I'm selling my Mac IIci but keeping the fonts. so I think I'm justified in converting them to the NeXT, after all the money I spent. Is there also a utility to convert screen fonts? --Mitch

Where can I get macfonts2next? As I don't have direct usenet access, I would appreciate it if you could phone me at 202-473-0383 (office) or 202-363-3884 (home). --Mitch

(note that you have to also get the afm files, and then run buildafmdir)
