I downloaded it in Mac Netscape 4.08 (Save Link As from the contextual 
menu), and ran it through TT Converter. But the resulting new Mac TT font 
locked my G3, so I suspect something is indeed broken inside the 
downloaded PC version.

That said, it installed just fine in Win95 under VirtualPC. To get 
appropriate letterspacing in Word97, open the Fonts format dialog and 
specify condensed at 1.8 the point size. E.g., it looks good at 48 
points, condensed by 6 points. Can't do much about the word spacing in 
Word, though; you'll need Quark or PM for that. I don't have a PC version 
of Illustrator--will it use TT fonts?

BTW, the direct URL to the font page is 
http://www.TeamMiata.com/libs/font.htm. This should help those whose 
connections time out waiting for the upstream pages to load...  :-)
