formatm (on Mac) for distribution of MathML fonts, anyone at MIT?

Hello -

The page at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ points to 
installers for the fonts necessary for proper viewing of MathML content. 
For the Mac, that software is distributed as a HQX file. This is not at 
all convenient.

The development tools for the Mac have, for many years, been able to 
produce disk images for distributing software. This is a _much_ more 
convenient solution.

Does anyone know how to ask the people at MIT to change the way they are 
distributing this software? Failing that, if I can find someone else who 
is not stuck using HQX files, can we point to another place to get the 
software?

Below is a response I got from the guy at MIT. I found a link for the 
"content questions" and filled out the form. I did not find another 
place to ask.

Is there an MIT person on the list, or someone who can ask the question 
in a way that they will answer?

thanx - ray
