Hello, I'm running into a problem trying to load an old OS9 font in OSX that I bought years ago from Scriptorium Fontcraft.com (created in 1998). The font is Pyle Buccaneer. Does anyone know of a program or way to get it to load in OSX?

When I try to load it, it first shows "1 serious error was found. Do not use this font." Then if I select and try to install it anyway, it simply does no show up in Font Book.

Thanks in advance!

If the OS is complaining warning and tell you it's not going to work, then you can't force it. Perhaps you can try to get an updated version of that font if you really want that specific one and something that's specific to OS X as opposed to the previous generation OS.

Thanks Ashwin!

I sent them a message to see if I can get the updated version, It's a killer font and I still use it on a G4 in OS9, I'll spring another $29 for it if need be.
