There is a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb. The odd name has to do
with me replacing the real font name with a made-up name in what I
pasted into my email to the list. Maybe that's silly/overly-cautious
... but I think the license for that font doesn't allow converting it
from a Mac PS font to a (Win?) PS font, generating afm files from it
with type1afm, etc. Anyhow, to re-cap, I did:
* go to the iMac & find a font named "SomeMacintoshPSfont"
* use Fontforge to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb"
* use the type1afm utility to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.afm"
* put these pfb & afm files in the ~/.fonts directory on Linux box
* run `mtxrun --generate`
* run `mtxrun --script fonts --reload`
* view output of `mtxrun --script fonts --list --all` to get names
for use in typscript.
But it doesn't work for some reason...
