Can anyone tell me how to get Postscript fonts from a Mac to an Amiga?
I see lots of these .rs fonts, and a few .ttf but where do the Adobe
programs store their Postscript fonts?

They are in the Resource fork of the file, not the usual data fork.

You may still need to run a conversion utility to make them usable on
Amiga. There is an old free program from Mirror Image that does this,
called MIM2I. That is, Mirror Image Mac to Intel. It will do a whole
drawer full at once.

The metric file, if you are lucky enough to have it, can be just copied
across as it is a text file.

The metric information is also in the Mac bitmap font file. I don't know of
any Amiga utility for extracting it, though.
