Genie -

Have you tried downloading and installing one or more of the Frets fonts direct from the site linked in Bill D's first post?

At that site, on the page
True Type Fonts
they state:
"True Type Fonts - Typography
"TTF or True Type Fonts are more close to their printed counter parts. TTF technology was developed by Microsoft and Apple Corporation because they decided that the monopoly on PostScript enjoyed by Adobe was not good for their business. Hence, True Type Fonts work equally well under both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
"TTF can be used for publishing needs wven though the work may finally go thru a PostScript device like as imagesetter. However, problems will crop up when the True Type Font and the PostScript font have the same names."

It took some searching, but on the site home page, it states that the fonts there are all ttf format. If you download them direct from the site to your Mac, they should install and run(?). (The html header for the web download page should state whether the site is in lsb first or msb first - little-endian or big-endian, and your Mac should use that information to "flop" the bit order if necessary, when it writes the file to your disk.) Or am I assuming too much about the Mac's capabilities?

The publishing industry relies on the ability to swap documents with fonts embedded (i.e. the only source for the font on the "receiving" machine is the document itself) and Macs and PCs exchange documents of this type routinely, with machines of either kind able (mostly) to use the fonts "as received" in the documents. Since Apple co-developed the TrueType font format, one would expect an Apple (Mac) computer to be able to use them.(?)
