Re: Frame on Mac vs. PC

["David C. Spreadbury" <dspreadb@xxxxxxxx>]

This was recently gone over, either on this list or the FrameUsers list. The
biggest problem I have seen is font naming. The Mac postscript fonts are
named differently than the Windows postscript fonts. There was a comment
that mentioned two output formats on the Mac side. One was binary and I
can't remember the other. Maybe someone else can offer up the answer.
Anyhow, it is pretty painless since the files are binary compatible. Fonts
will probably your biggest challenge. I would attempt to push for the Win95
platform versus the WinNT one. Haven't touched Win98 yet, so can't comment
on that.
