I've got some PostScript Type 1 outline fonts that I need to convert for use on a PC.
What tool is the best to use?
If the font EULA permits it, I would recommend TransType

You could also try Crossfont:

(Be aware that you cannot simply copy a Mac OS Classic font to Windows. The resource fork will get lost.)
Crossfont handles archived or binhexed fonts containing the resource fork. More explanation here: http://www.asy.com/helpcf.htm#copymac
There's also FontXChange for Mac, which is an Intel app so should run on Lion: http://www.fontgear.net/fontxchange.html
FontForge is certainly capable, though perhaps a bit less straightforward— you'll probably want to consult Google:
