If yould like to be sure that you use the same font on both latforms, I
could send you my old program that converts PostScript fonts between
Mac<->PC<->NeXT on file format level. This means that internal structure of
font is never touched (everything is preserved, in the old days of 300dpi
lasers hinting was a big issue, so the basic icc idea was not to open fonts
like Fontographer do), what the program does is it converts Mac POST
resources to text or to the hexdump of binary parts of PostScript fonts.
The program is Mac only and it is short one. I'll leave the font copyright
issues to you if you use it.
