- Hi,
-
- It is important to note that if you own a font, and convert it for use
- on the same computer (ie. MAC font from type 1 to TT), that probably is
- ok. However, I'm sure that Adobe and other companies frown upon the
- practice of converting a Macintosh font to a PC or SUN font (or vice
- versa).
-
- This is one of those legal gray areas... IMHO it does seem ridiculous to
- bye a font and have to buy it again for other computers (I own both a
- Macintosh and PC).
-
-
- Cheers,
-
- Philip
