There is: FontForge. (Usually your commercial font license does
not allow this...)
There are free handwriting fonts on the internet, it's also
possible that Lucida Handwriting exists in True- or OpenType format...

I can buy the font again, no problem, but it does work on my mac with
xelatex so I'm just confused. I open the font in fontbook and export
the font; tar/gzip the resulting directory and transfer to linux.
Maybe fontbook's export converts it from a xelatex-readable format to
one thats not.
If no one has any other ideas, I'll buy the font again and hope for
the best.
You may have to do this anyway, since you're not actually allowed to
format-convert it.
Even though it's possible to use font forge to convert your font to
being suitable for a modern engine (type 1 has been completely replaced
by type 2 fonts, in OTF wrappers - adobe has updated all their fonts to
type 2 at this point, and they invented type 1), you're not actually to
do so.
Depending on how long ago you bought it, you might be able to convince
the seller to give you a ttf/otf version, since type1 is mostly for use
on legacy systems.
