[comp.sys.amiga] MAC FONTS => AMIGA FONTS

bn005@zeus.unomaha.edu (BSAD 8050) (03/29/90)

   I have approximately 18 disks FULL of MAC fonts (about 12M of
fonts total) and I would like to have them converted to Amiga fonts.
I would like to convert them in the shortest, easiest method 
possible.
 
   Are there any fast and reliable public domain/shareware font
converters available?  I have tried a program called MacConvert,
but it crashes on some new font formats.  I would, preferably, like
to have something that handles color fonts as well, but this is
optional.

I wrote a BDF to Amiga font converter, but it needs to be cleaned up 
a bit before sending it to comp.sources.amiga.  There are programs to
convert Mac fonts to BDF, so with these two programs you should be
able to do the conversion.  There are a bunch of Mac fonts in the contributed
X stuff (in BDF form I think), so that's yet another source of fonts.

If anyone else has any interest in seeing this program, send email as it
will encourage me to get this thing out faster.
