LWFN Fonts

[kitki83]

I did a search on "LWFN" and I got a post which a person had similar experience but his solution I did not understand. Is there a way to install LWFN fonts since my Font Book does not seem to recognize them or allow me to install them.

Thank You

No, because apparently it's only one part of what is needed.

Type 1 Fonts on a Mac:
Two files are required to use a Type 1 font on the Mac. Both are resource files. The font outline data is stored in a file with type LWFN and is analogous to the PFB file on a PC. A separate file with both a FOND resource and bitmap font is also required.

It's not often that you'll see these extensions/properties on fonts... these files are next to useless by themselves.

Yeah seems like my company to use old fonts instead of more modern type (not referring to style but format)


BUT OMFG that site rocks!!!


Edit: tested out what the site recommended and yet the font is not being recognized

Does Anyone know how install these fonts
