But don't know the first thing about Macintosh fonts.

Here is a link to my WEB site

Doug,

There used to be an app called fontographer that let's you create fonts and that allowed them to run on Macs.

Personally, I use Barcoda to create my barcodes which uses OCRA and OCRB fonts embedded but that is a slightly different way around to what you do.
 
I have Fontographer Now
I don't know what to create though for a MAC
I need someone with a MAC to test them who knows about fonts

I have a cleint that I sent them to test but she is clue-less. About what I sent her or where to put them etc.

they are on the site above if you want to download them and try.
Of here it is again

Downloaded all of them but cannot read them as fonts. What are you trying to achieve? If I understand that, I may be able to help.
 
I want to create a Barcode Font file for a Macintosh computer. Either True Type or Postscript or both.

Fontographer created those files.
Like I said I have no clue what they are?

I have created True Type fonts for the PC for years
They end in .TTF
I use them all the time. They are loaded in the Control Panel, Fonts folder and work great.

And they are to be used for the digits of the barcode under the bars themselves?

Where can I get the TTF files from and I'll test them on a Mac and on a PC and let you know what happens and whether I can work a way to make it cross platform.
