what kind of file is a *.bmap?

Barking at the moon.
I feel kinda stupid doing this, but I really don't have any idea. I download a font family that was meant for OS 9 macs.

Anyhoo, the fonts come in a package called LipoD_family.bmap and when I try to open it, OSX tells me it needs an application to do it. So, do I need to open this on a computer with 9/classic and then transfer the fonts over?

thanks for any ideas.
 
Are you certain the file was intended for OS 9? The only time I've seen a .bmap file extension in a font set was for a windows font. You can convert them to a macintosh font though with a utility, but it's my understanding that Mac OS X can use windows fonts without conversion.
 
Well, I did what I should have done in the first place .. stick in the Fonts folder and see if it works. It does. Thanks for the help, Jadey. :)
