Re: FN-FORUM Papyrus Font

It is not just a resource fork issue - Mac fonts are a different type
of file from PC fonts (although both platforms can use TrueType and
Postscript fonts- the latter requiring Adobe Type Manager.) Font
utilities such as Fontographer, can convert Mac to PC and Postscript
to TrueType.
It is ironic that Apple developed TrueType fonts to allow users to
use scalable fonts without Adobe software on the Mac, but they got
adopted by Windows users almost exclusively, while Mac users continue
to use Postscript and Truetype fonts.
