I have a utility called cross-font that converts PC and Mac fonts back and forth, both Type1 and TrueType. It's shareware/freeware and should be available at downloads.com. It's a PC utility, so you have to stuff your mac fonts before you transport them over to the PC (their data is in the resource fork, unlike most files, so if you just copy a Mac font normally, it will be empty). When converting to Mac fonts, the utility outputs Mac binary files which you simply unstuff on the Mac end.

What I'm experiencing is cross platform font issues when authoring movies. We have mac dudes and dudettes here and pc folks like myself trying edit movies simultaneously and at times it gets to be plain horrendous. Besides the obvious answers (like just use common fonts, dummy), how do you folks deal w/ font issues like on mac "Interstate-Bold" and the bolded up "Interstate" on pc being different? Are there any font conversion tools that would change the Interstate-Bold mac font to Interstate-Bold pc version as it's own entity (i.e. not just having Interstate, then having the alternate option of bolding it)? Answer if you feel like it, like I said, I know this isn't lingo related so feel free to ignore...
