- Actually it does work in 2.5b, but you need a Mac utility to convert
- the font into a usable Mac file. This has to be done on the Mac end,
- not on the Amiga end. TypeSmith is correctly outputting a Mac format
- TrueType font, but the font must be split into the resource and data
- forks on the Mac. The best way to get TrueType fonts from TypeSmith
- to the Mac is to export it PC format TrueType. Then take the font to
- your Mac, and use the Mac PD utility TTConverter to make it into a
- proper Mac font.
