If you have the MAC font and it's a postcript font can't you just use that on windows using Adobe Font Manager ?
In fact it appears if the font is on a MacOS X machine and your PC is running Win2K then both support PS Type1 and OpenType fonts natively.

I need to match a Mac font called "fruitiger roman". Can I get this font for Windows, or does anyone know the equivalent Windows font?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

P.s. spelt it wrong - frutiger, not like a banana.

Also, I know I can buy this font. Don't suppose anyone has it?

Question

Why does it say that it costs $178.20 to download it? Have you managed to do it? Too many pop-ups for my liking!

Or find someone with Fontographer to convert it for you ? Do you know anyone in publishing ?

There may be some shareware type stuff that can do the same thing for you.
