To convert fonts, you have to:
•
Add the fonts you want to convert to the Source list. Remember that
Macintosh fonts must usually be in MacBinary or BinHex format.
•
If you are converting Macintosh fonts to PC you may have to associate
data files with the source suitcases. Usually, however, TransType does
this automatically.
•
Check and define the encoding and codepage settings for all the fonts
in the Source list, if necessary. The values selected in the Preferences
dialog will be used by default.
•
If necessary, change the destination font format (if you are converting
TrueType fonts to Type 1 or vice versa).
•
If necessary, organize destination suitcases (if you are converting PC
fonts to Macintosh) and adjust the fonts’ properties.
•
If necessary and Python is installed, select the program in the Macro
pop-up menu which will be executed during the main conversion.
•
If the Convert button is disabled, fix possible problems by following
the recommendations located in the legend panel below the
Destination Fonts list.
•
Press the Convert button.
