- I believe I was the one who posted about this same problem several
- months ago. As you can read in the followup that I just posted, yes,
- the fonts I have were indeed converted from fonts generated by Altsys
- Fontographer. It's a little difficult to examine the fonts to see if
- they meet Apple specifications, since the specifications are
- PROPRIETARY and obtainable only under license.
