[QUOTE="immdb, post: 105127, member: 1238"] If the font is an Open Type Font then it will be ok. I think the same is also true for True Type Fonts ( I believe that you have to remove the.ttf extension). If it is a Postscript Type 1, then I believe that you have to use a utility to convert it to make it Mac compatible. AFM is not a font. AFM is Adobe's ASCII-based file format used for storing font metric data as human-readable data. AFM is the standard Adobe font file format. This format is also known as the Adobe Multiple Font Metrics (AMFM) and Adobe Composite Font Metrics (ACFM) file formats. In fact, AFM, AMFM, and ACFM are actually three variations of the same format. AFM files contain base or composite font information. One AFM file is used per master design of a font. AMFM files store control and global font information for a group of AFM files. And ACFM files contain the global metrics of the composite font program. The specification for the AFM format is: Adobe Font Metrics File Format Specification (Version 4.0), Adobe Developer Support, 14 February 1992, P/N LPS5004. This document available via FTP as a Tech Note in PostScript format, or as hardcopy when obtained directly from Adobe (see the PostScript section for information on how to contact Adobe Systems, Inc.)
