Conversion Process

Type 1 Fonts

Conversion of Type 1 fonts from Macintosh to PC is very similar to the

conversion from PC to Macintosh. The only difference is the handling of

the metrics. Metrics information (a character’s width(s) and kerning) is

extracted from the font suitcase and converted to AFM, INF and PFM files.

Of course, the reencoding information is used when the metrics files are

generated so that you get a valid PC Type 1 font file.

 Note that the accompanying bitmap fonts from the Macintosh suitcase are

not copied or converted to PC font format as in the case with TrueType

fonts. But you must always add suitcases to TransType but not

printer font files only.
