We do not have a FineType Converter for Macintosh Users. If you have access to a PC, we
suggest installing fonts from there or getting a PC friend to send you fonts. Alternatively,
please run Virtual PC on your Macintosh and install the fonts from there. We have a link on
our

WordSmith download

page for some free converted display fonts.

Advanced FineType Features


To access the Advanced features shown below, simply click on the Advanced button.

The Advanced feature set basically allows users to create their own fonts. To customize a font, select it
from the list of fonts and then alter its width (how wide the character is) and its weight (how dark the
character is). Once you have customized the font, save it and/or install it. To return the default width and
weight for a particular font, simply click on the Defaults button.
As with the Basic feature set, in the advanced mode users may elect to Include Non-Western Scripts in
the font list and High-Resolution fonts.
To exit the Advanced feature set, click on the Basic button to return to the Basic FineType Converter
feature or click on the Exit button to return to the desktop.
