I'll take this one. First, I want to thank Rebecca for providing the outlines for the font. 
Second, unless someone wants to do it and has better software than I, feel free to 
write and proceed with a TT font. I didn't mean to step over anyone in volunteering 
to produce the miata font. It just that with the program I'm using (Fontographer, an 
older version) doesn't support TT (and if its does, I don't). There is a simple application 
which will convert the Mac PS to PC PS and when I get time I will even look it up and 
make it available or go ahead a convert it. Remember this though, this font is a 
specialty item, don't expect to write your next business report w/ it. Most likely it 
will be use for headlines or banners. Sign companies will appriciate the PostScript. Any 
other questions about this font can be directed to me.
Thanks, dave
