CrossFont

CrossFont is a very easy to use Windows program that can convert TrueType and PostScript Type1 fonts between Macintosh and Windows workstations.

The program was developed to be easy to use, so the plain and simple GUI shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Most of the features are pretty intuitive and you are required to choose the source and the output formats, with multiple options to pick from.

For example, you can convert Mac TrueType fonts, Mac PS Type 1 fonts, PC PS Type 1 fonts, ASCII Font Metric, ASCII PS Type 1 Font and OpenType/TrueType fonts, while the supported output formats include TTF, AFM, INF, PFA and OTF.

Drag and drop support is also available, which means you simple need to drag the items you want to convert over the main window of the app. Batch conversion is available too, with a dedicated panel in the main window that gives you the option to select as many files as you want.

The conversion process doesn't take more than a minute and that's a very good news for those who aren't willing to spend too much time using this app. It remains very friendly with hardware resources, even while performing a conversion task, with CrossFont running smoothly on all Windows versions.

Overall, CrossFont is a very handy piece of software that serves its purpose in a very straightforward way, although some rookies may need assistance on some built-in features. The good thing however is that CrossFont comes with a help section too, so more documentation is also available in case you need it.
