Default Corvette Font - for Mac?

Does anybody have the Corvette font for a Mac?

I have tried every program I know of to get the PC ttf font to work on a Mac.


Anybody have an answer?

TIA

You have to convert it to a Mac recognized font.

Here is a link to a conversion utulity.
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utiliti...onverter.shtml

If you don't like that one just search the web for

"TTF to Mac converter"

Good Luck

What version of the Mac OS are you running? The C5 Corvette TTF font works fine on my PowerBook G4 15-inch (Mac OS X version 10.3.8, 1.5 GHz, 768 MB RAM).

No clue what a Corvette Font is but if you are running 10.3.x you just need to open up Font Book and import it. It wil work fine. The Freeware that was listed above will cause problems with OSX fonts. It is designed for OS9 and before.

someone recently posted it on a thread-
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=860530

pm me and ill email the same font after i ran it thru 'Font Doctor' and squirted it out as a mac based ttf

(id say the font itself is compatable however mac based fonts may diff from pc based ttf fonts if there was something unrecognized by each platform in the fonts pre-amble)
