MAC Fonts
Is there a way to use Macintosh fonts in the GIMP? A point to a tutorial would be great...if it exists. -- Thanks! Jim Clark Informix Software, Inc. 913/599-8845

You need to convert them to .TTF the same as Windows. There are several tools that do this. TT Converter is one. Once that is done, you can just move the font over to your TrueType directory in Linux. Make sure you are running a TrueType font server and your box is set up properly for TrueType support. Once that is done, the font(s) should appear in the Gimp and any other application that uses TT Fonts. There is a TT Font tutorial on x.themes.org if you need some more detail. There's also a HowTo on it I think. HTH. -- __ _ Carl B.

Re: MAC Fonts
Aren't Mac fonts post scripts fonts? If so, adding them is even easier than that because you don't have to convert them to ttf. Some one tell me if I'm correct and if so, I'll write in with how to instal a post script font. On Fri, 10 Mar 2000, Carl B.

Especially those from Adobe and Bitstream. -- __ _ Carl B.

My Mac font question
Wow-- This turned into a lively discussion, including a couple of responses direct to me. Here's the situation. On: http://www.fontsite.com/Pages/FFDownloads.html There's a really neat font that gives a very clear display at 7 point. I'd like it very much. But here's what it says: Mini 7 was designed by Joe Gillespie. It's only a screen font, so it doesn't have a printer font as all Type 1 fonts do. It is specifically designed to be used at 7 points, or what we call "mouse type." Mini 7 is great for captions or buttons on web graphics. In fact, we've used it in several places throughout the FontSite. There are two versions--Mini and Mini Tight--with different metrics. Mini 7 is Freeware and is only available for the Macintosh I downloaded it, but it's in that .hqx format. I read at: http://www.calarts.edu/network/compress.html I should be able to open it, but I don't know how. I have installed plenty of PS fonts, do not use TT fonts, and would like to know if I can use this font (should I ever learn how to unstuff the file). -- Thanks!
