Those are type 1 fonts not TrueType.

You can check the Adobe store but I don't know if they've got anything 
but OpenType available at this point.

BTW, whenever you post something like this it's a good idea to state WHY 
you need it. It's very possible someone has given you some really old or 
flat out wrong info.

The reason is very simple. The original Myriad and Minion font families were
done as Multiple Master Type 1 fonts. Adobe discontinued all sales of Multiple
Master fonts a number of years back. In other words, for those fonts, there
wasn't a bunch of .PFB and .PFM files anyway.

The good question is why whatever software used by Mr. Sandman doesn't support
OpenType fonts? OpenType fonts are fully supported by both Windows (since
Windows 2000) and Macintosh (MacOS X) as well as all programs that fully and
properly use operating system facilities to access such fonts.
