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
