It’s funny, because I’ve never liked Palatino, and I really like Constantia. On the other hand, my big objection to Palatino was always that it was so wide, and Constantia is quite a bit narrower, so that might be all it took to please me!

The cabextract program mentioned is available via fink. Alternatively, you can download it from the project’s site and compile it yourself (which you’ll need Apple’s Developer’s Tools/XCode for).
