I don't know if this will help you but you could try converting them. Its hard to explain how to do .. but here is a start.. 1) Burn the fonts to a Mac cd (burn the Cd for a mac.. not a PC.. if you do you will loose information) 2) Bring the cd to a windows machine and use MacDisk to read the cd. you can get macdisk from: macdisk.com 3) Grab the fonts off the Cd (using MacDisk) 4) Then use CrossFont (http://www.asy.com/) to convert them. This maybe more work then its worth... but its one possible solution.

I don't own a PC and I'm developing for a dual G4 running OS 10.3. Would this type of conversion work when put back on a Mac?

I'm trying to use some of the truetype fonts on my mac with PHP's "imagettfbbox()" routine but since all my fonts are contained within suitcases, I don't know how to get them to work. I found one non-suitcase TrueType font that loads fine so I know the basic mechanism works and the script has the correct permissions to access fonts. Anyone know how to use TrueType Suitcases with PHP? Thanks for any help Ken
