- They can be converted from win3.1-->mac via the ttconverter utility,
- available through FTP sites (mac).
-
- Also, you should know that there are a lot of star trek truetype fonts
- twiddling around on mac ftp sites.
- Their names include: TNGMonitors, Klinshai, crillee, romulus, and a couple
- others which at this moment escapes me. Mac.archive also has them collected
- under one file name which is pretty obvious, but also escapes me. Try these
- before buying IBM fonts.
