Hello, Hi, I am a new mac user and I need to install 4 fonts all in the format afm. However the system doesn't seem to recognize such format (a simple copy-paste function doesn't work). The easiest way to install fonts is using Font Book. Apple has created a nice pdf about font management. Download it from.

Seems like you are trying to install PostScript Type 1 fonts. They are multipart fonts, a suitcase containing screen fonts and vector data sent to printer when font is printed..afm files contain font metrics needed in some operating systems and printers but not in Mac. Those four fonts are not compatible or screen and printer parts are missing. Mac OS X supports PostScript Type 1 fonts if they are made for Mac but not Windows-versions.

I tried to install an utility you mention in the link, but it says that it's for Tiger 3, and I have Tiger 4 (for which it's not necessary they say).but it still doesn't work. The more complicated thing is that I need these fonts for QuarkXpress which doesn't seem to open some files for edit without them. Is there any online assistence (for Europe) where I can call and maybe get a step-by-step help?
