[QUOTE="squamosity, post: 1128901, member: 176447"] I recently had a similiar need to do this and had come across this thread with a deadend. I later found a solution so posting here for others that find this later. I used [URL="http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/"]Font Forge[/URL] to convert windows only FON files to macintosh compatible truetype. [I][INDENT]"Font Forge is an open source (BSD) outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf, FON, NFNT) fonts, or edit existing ones.

It's clunky and ugly, but it lets you open, save and convert fonts into multiple formats fairly easily. [/QUOTE]
