None of the MS Windows PC software for classic Mac HFS volume reading (CD, ZIP) software that I have tried can read fonts - the engineers are working on it (I have tried the 'big 3' names). BTW -Nor can they write a Mac CD ROM, but I think that some can format a Mac ZIP on the PC. So if you are PC based and in publishing and send data in both directions to Mac clients and need to fit in seamlessly - it can be hard if you don't have a Mac - as fonts and Mac HFS volume format is quite often critical for a productive workflow (I could cheerfully strangle the person who used to work for my company who archived a whole bunch of CD's in the studio as ISO-9660 - but did not have any extensions on the filenames, now it is a big stuff around to find files due to truncated names and when you find them it is a chore to open them in the right application <g>).
