You'll need to construct a header added onto the beginning of the Mac font, with the following fields: OffsetToMF ($0006--offset in words from here to Mac part of font) family (word) style (word) size (word) version ($0101) fbrExtent (word--maximum horizontal distance in pixels from the character origin to the far edge of any pixel of any character in the font) The Mac part of the font is the same, _except_ that you need to swap the high and low bytes of all the words except in the font strike (the bitImage), which needs no swapping. >Mike Jetzer --David A.
