Hi guys,

After a year I've finally convinced my business partner to go mac but the one thing he's worried about is all his fonts.

Can anyone, preferably someone who's been through the process of taking their fonts from PC to Mac recommend a font manager which will allow him to use all of the fonts on his PC on his new Mac? He has font types like .pfm and .pfa, as well as the usual True Type pc fonts.

Thanks!

Font Book is built-in to OS X and lets you install fonts. The TrueType fonts should work fine, but I'm not sure about the pfm and pfa (don't know what those are, to be honest). If these are purchased fonts, I'm sure Mac versions of these fonts could be obtained.
