My comments assume you are moving from an older Mac OS system.
I brought all my Type1 PostScript fonts with me when we switched to OS X. The Apple Type Solution Server recognizes the fonts just fine. Watch your file permissions once they are in Darwin/OS X. Fonts do not need to be executable. They are data. Fonts should not be writable, you should not change a font.. OS X does have the problem of 'consolidated' font families confusing things. It takes some time to explain to a graphic designer why their family of WoodtypeOrnaments that worked fine under OS 8.6 doesn't behave properly under Mac OS X. They forget that they created this family from the free fonts that shipped with Illustrator 88, Photoshop 5.5, and some pieces that were taken from various jobs that passed by. (Bold from 1987, Italic from 1992, BoldOblique from the new vendor that bought out the original foundry, etc). Although these worked happily under Mac OS 8, the new font system utilizes far more of the metadata. Even slight variations in the spelling of attributes that were not utilized in pre-Darwin Mac OS will cause some problems for the ATS server. Hope this info helps somebody. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
