LF: GoudyHandtooled font

**ultratramp** · 05-27-2006, 09:25 AM

I created a design for one of company's product labels way back on a PC using the GoudyHandtooled font. I have been trying to migrate it into a mac format using fontlab but its simply a b*tch. does anyone know where i can get it or at least a lookalike as freeware? big help and many thanks if you do!

Is it a TrueType font? You should try TTConverter (classic only), sounds dirty but it works... both ways

EDIT: the downloaded archive opens into an empty folder.

Hmmm... that's strange, StuffIt just quits when I try to open it also. I have a copy on my 9600 I'll just PM you later...

And, yes, you don't need to do anything on the PC...

The files are probably there but just invisible. This happens to me from time to time ever since the last security update. I don't know why.

What I just do is use MainMenu to reveal the invisible files. Upon instructing MainMenu to hide invisibles once again, the file will remain visible on the desktop for use.

UPDATE: I just tried it. It worked. There are about 4 invisible files in the archive.
