Use fonts from Mac on a PC
Our marketing firm has provided us with the files for some ads. They are in QUarkExpress. I have downloaded the WIndows version of this program, but when I open it, the file users fonts that I don't have installed on my PC.
There is a fonts directory included wtih the Quark Express file, but the files don't have an extension, and Windows doesn't recognize them.
Help!

dday515,
Take a look at CrossFont (http://www.asy.com/scrcf.htm). It's $45, but (at least in the past) you can use it on a trial basis prior to paying, and that may be sufficient for your needs. Note that this won't work if you have Suitcase files, it'll only work if you have the font files saved individually. CrossFont only allows you to convert from Mac to PC in the same format the original file is. So it the original fonts are Type1 for Mac, CrossFont will give you Type1 fonts for PC.
