Type 1 Fonts

Conversion of PC Type 1 fonts to Macintosh format is similar to the

TrueType conversion process with the following differences:

1. The characters in Type 1 fonts are identified by names, not Unicode

indexes.

2. The metrics and kerning information of Type 1 characters on the PC is

located in separate metrics files (PFM or AFM).

3. There are no multiple master TrueType fonts.

Changing Font Format

By default PC Type 1 fonts will be converted to Macintosh Type 1, but you

can change the destination font format. Press the pop-up menu button

located at the right of the suitcase name in the Destination list to open the

following pop-up menu:

Destination Format Pop-up Menu

Select the platform and the type for destination font.

Tip: You can change the default destination platform and format in the

Defaults/Formats Page of the Preferences dialog.
