If they were fonts to begin with, then they were Mac fonts, and they  
were copied to a volume or via a protocol which doesn't support  
resource forks and HFS+ metadata (for a lengthy explanation, see  
<http://discussions.info.apple.com/ 
WebX?128 at 211.xQRXay0GoBe.131349@.68947ac6>). Consequently, they were  
shredded, and right now they're garbage. You can't do anything with  
them.

Ask the friend of a friend to compress (StuffIt, Zip) and/or encode  
(BinHex) on the Mac the original files and send you the .sit, .zip, or  
.hqx files.
