have an easy method to convert your TrueType
fonts for use with both Mac <-> IIgs?  It's
fairly easy to do you know.  Just follow these
simple instructions and use these Mac programs,

little Mac program to convert file types) to

for use with your Mac simply use Flipper as in
Step A then change the New Type to FFIL and New
Creator to DMOV. You now have a Mac TrueType font.
(place it in your Mac system folder inside of the 
font folder and reboot to be able to use it.

If you have a PC r a collection of PC TrueType 
fonts that you want to convert for use with your 
Mac use the TrueType Converter Mac program to

font for conversion to an Apple IIgs TrueType
font with the Step (1) process.
