Install Afm Fonts Windows 2010
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 here.
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. OpenType fonts are platform independent and Mac supports also Windows TrueType fonts.
There are some font converting utilities available, some of them are listed here: http://www.pure-mac.com/font.html
Good luck!

Fortunately, learning how to install fonts in Windows 10 is easier than you might think. Digital Trends helps readers keep tabs on the fast-paced world of tech with all the latest news, fun. My university tutor gave me a few font files in the form of.lst and.afm I assume these are the types of files you get when you package InDesign documents. I'm just wondering if there's anyway to integrate it into Windows because changing the file format to.ttf or.otf doesn't seem to help. Thanks in advance.
