i have a mac "stuffit" file with it a mac version of the font in, and a copy of crossfont which should be able to convert it to pc format, but stuffit really doesnt want to install on my pc so i cant even extract the archive in the first place...
and i gather you really need to do all extraction/conversion gubbins on the on the same computer otherwise the mac "resource forks" get f**ked up
so, anyone got a pc version of the font? that would save all the hassle

Talking of fonts, does anyone know of a font where the numerals have ascenders and descenders like they used to in old books? Sort of like this:
*edit: I did that on photoshop with shifting some of them up, using a lower case o as the zero and an i with the dot taken off for a 1. But they didn't used to have to do that back in the day of proper movable type...

If you can obtain a Mac copy of the font then no court would consider it unreasonable for you to convert it or obtain a converted copy that you could have reasonably created yourself.

I'm not quite up to speed on that one Master Motz but I do remember the days when you could purchase a font but needed licenses to use it on more than one printer.

I'm not QB (honest ), but I'll answer anyway.
While stuffing a single file isn't going to save you much, when you're hosting thousands of fonts and serving many downloads of each of them, the bandwidth/disk-space costs add up and a saving in the order of kilobytes per file can have an effect on your bandwidth in the order of gigabytes.
