Hi, I run Dirt2.com (my fonts are available here: http://www.abstractfonts.com/designer/412/Dirt2)
I have a problem with operating systems though, I can't figure out how to make some fonts work on Mac. I use FontLab and FontCreator and there's two fonts in particular that will not work on Mac.
When you save fonts in FontCreator they don't seem to work in Mac for me, I don't understand why but I tried exporting the font in Fontlab and it has worked for some fonts.
The fonts I am trying to work with are:

Any help is appreciated.

Download any AbstractFonts you like.
Download TransType from the internet.
I don't remember the website; do a search.
With that software, you can convert PC fonts to Mac.
They are TruType fonts and I don't know how reliable they are when they go to press, but you can always outline them in Illustrator.
Good luck. It was a life saver for me.

Hi again just wanting a little advice...
I bought futura family for mac a while ago, but my mac changed abodes and atm im working on the pc, i tried to transfer fonts over and most of them went ok. I really need the futuraTlig but I don't want to pay for it again. any suggestions?
I was going to draw it out again and save it to ttf but I can't get hold of a trial for fontographer that enables this. I'm a lowly student atm so expensive software is a no go :/
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Hi, I am trying to take an unpublished manuscript that I have rights to and print out pages to be bound (the book will be a gift). A lovely local printer gave me instructions to format w/ 1 1/8" margins and use Helvetica narrow and he will send the pages off to be bound as a proper book. However I am on a Mac and it doesn't offer Helvetica narrow. As the purpose of the narrow was to keep the work legible while keeping the number of pages the same / manageable for binding (it's in 12 point TNR now) I am wondering if Helvetica CV, which I do have on my Mac, would work. Any other suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance to the experts who donate their time to help the totally inexperienced, e.g. me.

Hi fellow fontaholics! I need to compile a set of good mac fonts (y'know, those ones that you see in well-designed sites).
I've actually a collection of PC fonts, so i'm wondering if i can use them on mac?
I tried downloading fonts from this site (on a mac), but it saves as a "download.is" file. What in the world is that? Was it supposed to be like that?
Also, if anyone has a range of good URLs worth sharing. Really appreciate it... Thanx!

Told you, it is Mac. Download on a Mac, unpack and convert.

mac or pc? if mac, have you copied files from pc cds or zips?
for mac, go to keyboard in the control panel and make sure U.S. English is picked.
i don't know much about pc, but i think there's a way to troubleshoot the keyboard from the control panel.
are you using atm deluxe or suitcase? you could try reinstalling......... doesn't that sound like fun
