- The only thing to beware of is that some 'conversion'
- programs interpret the font program to get the character
- outline points, and then write out something that is
- supposed to be equivalent in another format. This may
- loose hinting and character quality. A Mac - NeXT format
- conversion program should convert the font program
- uninterpreted. It takes less than 100 lines of code to
- do so.
