User Guide

number all your fonts uniquely so the conflict won’t occur.
Again, we recommend you start with font family ID 1024
and count up; this is the best compromise we can suggest
for now.
The menu name
The menu name is the name which will be used in the font
menu on the Macintosh. This field becomes the FOND
resource name so we don’t recommend making the name
radically different. For instance, don’t enter a menu name
of “Skipper” for a font named “Gilligan”!
Creating bitmaps for cross-platform use
Because of the difference in monitor display resolution
between the Macintosh and the PC, you'll need to use the
table below to create bitmaps at sizes that will display
properly on both platforms. You'll notice that a few NFNT
font sizes will not be available for cross-platform use. The
table isn't all-inclusive, so you can create larger bitmaps in
the same proportions as those shown in the table.
