Opentype to Truetype
Hi all,

How do I convert a Opentype font to Truetype font without paying 180$ for transtype by fontlab?

Thanks,
Nilas

Can I ask - why would you?

Opentype works on both Mac and PC... ?

^ some apps don't, e.g. Adobe Flex won't embed anything but true type

yup, recently made a decision to switch fonts because I couldn't be bothered to convert the files.
The app ended up looking pretty different
