We recommend you install and use the true type version if you want to
work on Macintosh platform.
To Install the font
The Macintosh files are included with every font package under the
Macintosh folder. In downloadable version the fontware is packaged in a zip
file, so you need an unzip utility to unpack them first. There are many zip
utilities that open ZIP files such as Stuffit Expander (http://www.stuffit.com)
from Aladdin Systems.
The true type file in Macintosh platforms contain two portions - the
data fork and the resource fork. They are packaged in a binary format known
as MacBinary. Thus, before you can install the true type file you need to
unpack this binary file first. This step can be performed by simply double
