QuickDraw GX: Converting Type 1 Fonts (2/95)


During the installation of QuickDraw GX on a Macintosh running System 7.5, the installer will automatically convert any Type 1 fonts that are installed.

This process will "double" the amount of disk space currently required by any installed Type 1 fonts. The reason for this is because after the installation, the Type 1 fonts will exist in their converted format and also in their original form within a "*Archived Type 1 Fonts*" folder in the System Folder.

If a customer has many megabytes of Type 1 fonts installed, this could be an issue.
