We bought the MS-DOS version of Glypha because we could get it cheap. There were both compressed and uncompressed versions of the font on the disk; I just transferred the uncompressed versions across to my Mac. I named them "Glyph", "GlyphBol", "GlyphBolObl" and "GlyphObl" (being respectively the plain, bold, bold-oblique and oblique styles). With ResEdit, I added a couple of "POST" resources to each file, each one just two bytes long: POST 501 contents = hex "0400" POST 502 contents = hex "0500" And I changed the types of the files to "LWFN" and the creator to "LWRR" (or whatever). That was it. Once I'd FTP'd the bitmaps across from Sumex, I had a usable Mac version of Glypha. Doesn't work with ATM, tho...
