Apple Garamond is the one that I need. I just noticed that you have it on your site. Will that work on a PC as well?___________________________

Probably not. Mac and PC TrueType fonts are rather different."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

I thought that truetype fonts were completely crossplatform?was I misguided by every other book I've read on macs? IIRC I've even swapped truetype fonts with macs and PCs... or seen friends do it... Official 68k videographer

gawhd... there's a converter for everything isn't there??I think that some things should just "work" more often than needing to be converted... hardware adaptors are ok with me... and some file translators I can understand... but there HAS to be standards for this junk right? Maybe there's a PostScript version? ohwell... that'd cost UBERMONEY huh? Official 68k videographer

I tried to put the font on the pc and it did not work. But then again what does work on a pc :) What I did is open the TrueType suitcase and pull the fonts out and copied them to my PC. So I think I did it wrong. I did install it on my Mac though and I must say I love that font. It gives me the warm fuzzies inside.___________________________

Well said, Cory. I remember I thought a few years ago that TrueType was cross platform. I got a wh ole bunch of cool fonts off a PC, put them on a floppy disk, and then put the floppy into my PowerBook. The icons appeared, and they even had the system Fonts logo. But, they still didn't work. I needed to use TTConverter to get them to work. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Interesting. They must've done different in OS X. I still haven't tried transferring fonts from PeeCees to Macs for quite a while now. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers
