Conversion Process

Converting Macintosh fonts to PC is easier than vice versa for the following
reasons:
1. There are no suitcases on PCs.
2. PC OpenType TT/ TrueType fonts are based on Unicode, so usually the
reencoding process is simpler.
3. Bitmap fonts are not necessary for Type 1 fonts on PCs.
On the other hand, when Type 1 fonts are converted from Macintosh to PC
you must generate metrics files that will be used by Windows for
information about characters’ widths and kerning.
