TrueType and OpenType to PostScript Type 1 Font Convertor

What?
Turn your TrueType and PS-style OpenType Fonts into PostScript Type 1 fonts, usable by PStill - the PDF distillery and much more from www.stone.com - see http://www.stone.com/PStill for more info. You have TrueType Fonts in Mac OS 9 System/Fonts or Mac OS X/System/Library/Fonts folders that you can convert on Mac OS X.

Why?
We can't provide you with PostScript fonts because they are licensed. However you can personally convert all the fonts you already have licensed on your computer. 

How?
Fast Start: Be sure PStill is installed. Launch TrueBlue, find PStill if necessary, and click "Install and Convert Fonts", and choose a folder of fonts (/System/Library/Fonts comes up automatically the first time - so just click "OK") - this will place the converted fonts into PStill where they can be used to create PDF (aka Acrobat) files.

What then?

Launch PStill - if you are not automatically asked to install fonts via a dialog, choose Tools->Font Manager..., and click "Install Fonts".

PStill can then convert your EPS, PS, and even some Illustrator and Freehand files, if they have conforming PostScript, to beautiful, antialiased PDF. Drop the resultant file onto Stone Design's Create - a 3-in-one Illustration, Page Layout and Web Authoring Mac OS X Only application. Multiple page PDF's will display in a new document of that many pages - so you can then redline or fill out forms of existing PDFs to produce new ones!

Expert Stuff

There are options for renaming fonts, whether it's binary or ascii, and some other stuff. Choose Convertor->Expert Convertor Window, and click the round Jeweled Jujube to access the options. They are set now so that all Mac OS 9 fonts convert correctly.
