Are there any PD PostScript fonts ? Anywhere ?

There are a couple in the Mac groups on CompuServe. There are also a number
of ShareWare fonts up there that aren't bad, either; in fact I use one,
Canaith, as the font for OtherRealms' cover logo with a little mutation.

About a year ago, using Fontographer I made a font resembling my own
handwriting which I am willing to put in the public domain.
My handwriting is certainly not beautiful, but quite readable.

However, the corresponding bitmaps which are automatically generated
by Fontographer for viewing on the Macintosh screen need some cleaning
up which I have not yet found any time to do. Also, on the Macintosh
I do not know which font number to assign to the font.
If somebody could help me with these things, the font could become more
widely distributed.
