I'm surprised the Mac can't accept TrueType fonts... However,
perhaps you can find what you need at
http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/fonts/tolkien.html
IIRC, there is a small unix utility that takes a TTF font as input and
generates PostScript Type 1 fonts. I don't know whether those are useable
on a Macintosh, however I remember it is the format that fits in a
LaserWriter. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of this program...
:-( --- you can still look for it on tucows.com or freshmeat.net
