Default Font Conversion
Hi,

Does anyone know of any free software to convert PC fonts to Mac?

Cheers

Mac and PC fonts are slightly different formats so they do need to be converted before moving between operating systems.

Frutiger seems to have disappeared, I can get hold of it again but only for the Pc...
(I'm not paying for it again)

All sorted now, cheers Toon.

My font library has gone tits up and I've lost about 50% of my fonts as I can't find my backup! It going to be one of those days!

Marcos, I use pretty much all of the PC fonts on my MAC without any conversion. Just drop them into your font program and they work.

I don't know when they started allowing the transfer to happen, but give it a try.

It depends on the format of the font, some of them worked but some didn't. Fortunately I managed to get hold of the ones that didn't. Cheers for trying to help though!
