[OS X TeX] Howto install .pfb fonts on Mac OS X?

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is actually unrelated to TeX and LaTeX, but since
there's quite a couple of font experts on this list, I couldn't resist
to ask..
I received a font in .pfb and .pfm format, and need to get it to work
with Mac OS X applications like Photoshop, but not TeX or LaTeX.
Since simply dropping them in ~/Library/Fonts didn't make them
available, I searched the web and found the t1utils package on Marc
Liyanage's site (www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/). The manpage for the
included t1mac states that
t1mac reads a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) PostScript Type 1 font
file and generates an equivalent Macintosh Type 1 font file
but
WARNING: The output of t1mac is not sufficient to use the font, since
Macintoshes can't read raw Type 1 fonts. You will need to create
a font suitcase containing bitmap fonts if you do not have such a
suitcase for the font already. t1mac cannot help you do this.
So right now I'm stuck, since I have no idea how to create a font
suitcase. If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
TIA,
-Otto.

try the most obvious one:
% (this is actually in the TeXShop Standard Document Template)
\ifpdf
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf, .jpg}
\else
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps, .jpg}
\fi
% and then:
\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=6.5cm]{figures/demo-screenshot}
\caption{Indoor and outdoor navigation}
\label{demo-screenshot}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
% which does in fact include the file
% martin% ls -la figures/demo-screenshot.jpg
% -rw-r--r-- 1 martin admin 180707 Jun 6 15:40
figures/demo-screenshot.jpg
have fun! :)
