Last time I checked, both programs (TransType & CrossFont) were available as functioning demos, so it would cost you nothing to find out. Sometimes the font I wish to design with is a Mac font, so I convert it. My preference is to work on PC (my PC box is better than my Mac). would be retained cross platform, I couldn’t say. So whether formatting such as kerning etc. For example, as part of a Mac formatted Quark file. The conversions I have done have just been for the font files themselves. Otherwise I continue working with it on the Mac. Normally, font suitcases that hold bitmap font data are only one half of the font to be usable you need to have the additional PostScript Outline font files (these will have an LWFN icon). If I want to swap the file to PC I usually just make a PDF. Font Suitcases can potentially hold 2 different kinds of fonts: bitmap fonts and TrueType fonts. I have access to a Mac so I open Mac files on it. – english (original) – deutsch (transl.) The gloomy future of computing: TCPA/TCG/Palladium/NGSCB/DRM FAQ

I used Alladdin Stuffit for transferring the font files from Mac->PC, then used Transtype (by Pyrus) for font format transformation (Mac PS1 to Windows PS1). I lost some of the kerning pairs, and font naming was messed up due to MacOS/Winwoes differences (rather: Windows’ restriction to only four members in a font family). I did once try to convert ‘the sans’, ‘the mix’, and ‘the serif’, but the result was not easily usable. – any problems with accessibility of certain glyphs?/encoding schemes? – any naming problems/accessibility of roman/italic, weights? – in which file format where the Mac fonts? Postscript Type 1 or else? – what happened to the kerning pair information of the transformed fonts? Are the kerning pairs still intact? I’ve had great success converting Mac fonts to PC this way. I’m sure if you do a search you will find. There are (or were) trial versions of each available. ‘CrossFont’ will then convert the file (font) to PC. ‘TransMac’ will re-write the code (or something like that).
