<x-flowed>Hello,

I don't know if you've already solved the problem. There are other

You can take a look at a listing of all kinds of open-/closed-source 
TrueType software here:

And, finally, an informative site on how to use TrueType fonts in a 
tetex distribution [instructions for a PC using Miktex but can be 
adapted for MacOSX]:
