Apparently it is and it isn't. This one is inside a font suitcase, and 
Windows thinks it's "corrupted" when I try to use it. Converting it 
managed to extract the data somehow, but not consistently. If anyone 
knows what part of the suitcase to look at, I could try doing this 
manually. The font is very old -- about ten years -- so there are 
Mac-specific resources in there, etc.
