hey,
I recently bought an apple! (yay!). But the following problem: I bought some fonts on my pc but I don't know how to get them to work in os x. The fonts have the extensions .afm .pfm .pfb. I'm aware that there isn't an adobe type manager for os x. unfortunately 
. anyone got a suggestion?
thanks in advance
i'm really happy I made the switch, this is just a thing I have to figure out. I'm really happy with my g5! 
.ttf work well on MacX, I just tried Sylfaen from J Hudson from my Windows to MacX today! Does I have the right to that? don't know. But it work well.
Depending of foundries licences, you can use that http://www.fontlab.com/html/transtype.html. Its good software.
I guess Sylfaen is actually an OT font (TT-flavoured), that's why it works in both platforms.
Try CrossFont. Every now & again I have to use a font on a Mac (I'm a die-hard PC user - mostly because I'll die with hardly any money) and CrossFont usually does a good job of making them usable on a Mac platform.
IIRC, the trial version is fully functional except that it doesn't do batch conversions. If you have a bunch of fonts, it might be worth the $45 for the license.
Hope that works for you.
