Converting Mac fonts to PC format and vice versa PDF Print E-mail

About a week ago, I hired a graphic designer on Elance to design a postcard for my business. I made it clear that I wanted the project to be fully editable via Photoshop when it was done. So in order to make it fully editable, the designer sent me the font files along with the project. The only problem is that two of fonts were in some sort of format that was only Mac compatible. So being a PC user, this obviously caused some problems.

It took a good 15-20 minutes searching Google to find something that would convert the fonts into a Windows format. I finally found CrossFont, which did exactly what I needed. It comes with an unrestricted 15-day trial which allowed me to convert the two fonts I needed. After your 15 days are up, the price is $45 for a single user license. But if you are just going to use it to convert a couple of fonts, I guess 15 days is plenty of time, huh?

This was just a quick little tip for anybody who might one day run into the same problem I had. It took a while for me to find what I needed, so hopefully another page in the search engine results will help. =]
