Conversion Process

Bitmap Fonts

Any Type 1 font on the Macintosh must have at least one accompanying

bitmap font. TransType Pro will automatically build a bitmap font when

you convert a PC Type 1 font to Macintosh format and it can do so using

one of two methods:

1. FreeType rasterizer built into TransType Pro. This is the default and

the only choice if you do not have ATM installed in Windows:

Mac Suitcase Building Options

2. If ATM is present we highly recommend you to select it in the Use

bitmap rasterizer pop-up menu. It’s the best way to automatically

make professional-quality Macintosh Type 1 fonts that will work

smoothly everywhere.

 Note: PC bitmap fonts and font sets aren’t converted to Macintosh bitmap

fonts with TransType.

You sometimes may need to create a so-called ATR-compatible suitcase.

You can do this if you switch on the Create suitcases with merged

styles option on the Generate Type 1/Macintosh Suitcase Page of

the Preferences dialog.
