You cannot use true type fonts from an IBM directly. The
reason is that Mac true types have all the font information
in the resource fork of the file, while Windows true types
have the data in the data fork (since there are _no_
resource forks in Windows. Pointless looks for the resource.
There is a Mac shareware program called TTConvert that does
a good job of shuffling true types back and forth between
Macs and PCs. Find someone with a Mac and have them convert
the fonts for you. Most fonts converted in this way will
work fine.
