Macintosh Postscript vs Windows Truetype

Jonathan Clede19 January 2004 · 21:32

I want to buy this font which is offered in two formats: "Macintosh Postscript" and "Windows Truetype". I want to get a postscript font if possible, but I want it to be usable on PCs as well. Is Macintosh Postscript really only for Macintosh? Would it be impolite to ask the company for a Windows Postscript font?

For 100 dollars I'd say they'd better offer a Windows PS version.

It would not be impolite to ask YWFT for a Windows PS. I bet
they can deliver it. Even better, ask them to release fonts in
OpenType format, which would allow you to use the same
font file on both platforms.
