Hi. Any clue the best way to exchange files with a PC?

I have a problem. I am the only Mac based system in the company. I am overworked and I need to hand off some production work. Most of my packaging is done in illustrator. I am having trouble with fonts. I have used the font converter "Transtype Pro" so that I can share files with the PC based assistant. This has had mixed results, some fonts don't show up in the menu. I had her try the "Suitcase" for windows demo but it crashes her computer. She isn't savvy about fonts or trouble shooting and IT would be mad that I even installed unauthorized software on her computer. How can I get these fonts to work cross platform?

Get OpenType versions of the fonts.


Does open type work on windows? Also not all the fonts are available in open type.

Oh yes.

I'll leave that for someone else to answer, but you did say you had Transtype Pro!!!

Yeah, that's sadly true. Some foundries are still getting up-to-speed.


The same OpenType font file will work on both a Mac and a PC... truly cross-platform.
