Ask OSX Geeks: Windows under OS X? (Or, converting Type 1 fonts to TTF / OTF.)
Yeah, there was so much wrong with that sentence, but hey.
For typographical reasons (read: fonts), I have need to run Adobe Cloud under Windows on a Mac running Mountain Lion. (Well, I could run Adobe Cloud on an actual Windows box, but I don’t have one, hence the virtualization.)
The last Windows with which I am at all familiar is XP, which is … creaky, but will (I think) do what I need to do. What experiences have you all with running more modern Windows on a Mac? And via what mechanism? (I’m a fan of Parallels, but am willing to hear other options as well.)
Alternately, can anyone point at a reliable way to install Type 1 fonts on a Mac? 🙂
I know, I know, I don’t ask for much. But I have faith in my geeky friends.
Love, meri
