Ug. TrueType is an abomination.

Interestingly, I also created a font called Decker a long time ago. I
also created a Shdaowrun main text font (called Shadowrun). These are
both PostScript and are built for the Mac. You can find them on

ftp://thor.flashpt.com/fonts/

Yes it does. I'm used to dealling with it though, since most people put
out
rtf files in non-Mac fonts, and I use a Mac.
