Type1 Fonts->Amigafonts
4 messages in this thread
Has anyone converted any Adobe Type 1 fonts to Amiga Fonts? I will be
sourcing the Type 1 fonts from my Macintosh, transferring the outline files
to the Amiga via some Telecom program, converting them to Amiga Fonts and
then possibly converting the Amiga fonts to Toaster fonts, but that isn't
for sure yet. I need info on each step of the process, ie. file transfer
considerations on the move from Mac file to Amiga file, etc… and
especially what program or utility (PD, Shareware or commercial) to use to
convert the fonts. I also have the bitmaps available in MAC font suitcases,
if that is necessary (I hope not!). Thanks in advance, Brian
Brian,
Can't tell you much about getting the fonts from the MAC to the
Amiga but you will find a program here in Libs which is called FMDTP or
FM2DTP which is supposed to convert Type Ones to Amiga bitmap.

Thanks for the response. As soon as I can get the outline files to copy to
an MSDOS format disk in something other than a 0k file, I'll give it a try.
