Cross-platform CE font format for Quark 6 in OS X, Quark 4 in Windows 98?

Nick Shinn

I have a customer in Poland (a newspaper), with the following setup:

mac: Quark 6.5, OS X10.4
pc: Quark 4.1, OS Windows 98

I’m having difficulty with the appropriate font formats, especially as I don’t have a version of Quark 6 to test fonts on.

I figured that a TrueType flavored OpenType font would work in both platforms, but apparently Quark 6 in OS X doesn’t recognize the necessary CE characters in my fonts.

What’s the answer?
