Mac Techno Font to PC TTF?

It should not be a problem.

any details there, einstein?

...Techno is an OS 9 font suitcase, and i've never heard of a way to convert suitcases. If it were postscript type 1 or something, we could make something happen...

you could look for a font editor, extract the letters individually and build a truetype font... but that seems rather difficult, maybe it's not possible.

fontographer

it's not fun, but you can open system 9 fonts in fontographer and save them as .fon (or .fot) files - i can't remember. Then on windows you can open the .fon files with fontographer and generate TTF from that.

.fon is the native format for fontographer files.

i've done this before, but it's not fun, and takes some time.

Check your mail, I sent it up. Hope it works!

Techno Font for the PC??

Is there anyway someone could send this font to me. I have a project that needs it and it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Would like Techno Font too

I was in a situation where I needed Techno as well. I am doing a newsletter with Adobe InDesign on PC for a local affiliate of NAMI - National Alliance for the Mentally Ill and they use Techno for their logo and main headlines. I've had a difficult time getting our logo (NAMI of Walla Walla / NAMI News) to look right trying to cut and paste from the web site.

I finally gave up and went Mac hunting. I found one and zipped the Techno font suitcase and took the resulting file to my pc. Here's what I did there:

1. Extract the Techno.bin file from the Techno.zip file.
2. Rename Techno.bin to Techno.rsrc
3. Download and install "Crossfont" and register it. Cute little program.
4. Open Crossfont.
5. Drag the Techno.rsrc file onto "Crossfont" program window.
6. Select "Mac True Type Font" and then highlight the Techno.rsrc file in the window.
7. Select an output folder and click on the "Convert" button to convert the font.
8. Install the font "Techno.ttf" in Windows.
9. Test using the font.
10. Jump up and down repeatedly with glee and intense happiness.

I had nothing that went wrong. Everything was as smooth as silk.

Of course there is the legality issue, but NAMI corporate (who uses Macs) have advised that it should not be a problem in our case (not-for-profit, original was on Mac, etc)

Cheers!

just curious bit is this the font you are looking for?

Thanks, I got it already.

No, that wasn't the font. There are lots and lots of "techno"-type fonts and fonts with "techno" in their name, but only one "tecno" font. You can see it at NAMI's web site. It's used in the logo and the slogan at the top.

Thanks, though. I appreciate your responding.

Techno Font

If anyone has Techno font and can't email it to me - that'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Techno Font in PC and Mac Formats

To those of you who are asking about the Techno font, I apologize that I was not getting the notifications of activity in this thread. All mail was going to a long ago designated spam account, which I only look at in June (when the account renewal is up.)

Attached is a zip file with the Techno font in both PC and Mac formats.

I am not sure what the license is when it is included on a Mac, but the font is Licensed by and copyright 1995-1997 by The Font Bureau, Inc. All Rights Reserved, and they should be contacted for all commercial uses.

If you are going to just evaluate it and see if it works in your project before you buy it, I would venture an uneducated guess that The Font Bureau wouldn't mind much.

I am sure they will mind if you download it and use it in a commercial application.

If you are using fonts in your business, you need to know the rules. Look them up!

That said , I hope it is what you are looking for.
