Hi all

I went to buy the frutiger fonts (9fonts) from adobe. The format is open type which is what I want. B ut when going to buy them I am asked whether I want mac or windows format. I thought open type fonts were cross platform? We have both MACs and PCs, if I want the font on both do I have to buy both formats ?

Link to font:

Thanks for any help, sorry for this being off topic but I couldn't see where else to post.

Yes, that's it, pretty much. Also, our download manager needs to know whether you're using Mac or Windows. The *contents* of the purchased file are the same.

Hi Gerry,

I suppose it is just a matter of how they are packed (sit or zip, rar), because, certainly, they are completely cross platform.
