(How To) convert a Mac-font to PC-font ?
The best way I have found is a 2 step process.
‘TransMac’ will re-write the code (or something like that). ‘CrossFont’ will then convert the file (font) to PC. There are (or were) trial versions of each available. Sorry, I don’t have an URL handy. I’m sure if you do a search you will find. I’ve had great success converting Mac fonts to PC this way.

Hi Keith,
– in which file format where the Mac fonts? Postscript Type 1 or else? – what happened to the kerning pair information of the transformed fonts? Are the kerning pairs still intact?
– any problems with accessibility of certain glyphs?/encoding schemes? – any naming problems/accessibility of roman/italic, weights?
I did once try to convert ‘the sans’, ‘the mix’, and ‘the serif’, but the result was not easily usable. I lost some of the kerning pairs, and font naming was messed up due to MacOS/Winwoes differences (rather: Windows’ restriction to only four members in a font family).
I used Alladdin Stuffit for transferring the font files from Mac->PC, then used Transtype (by Pyrus) for font format transformation (Mac PS1 to Windows PS1).
