Why can't Google find the web site 
http://freethemes.tele.net/fonts/fonts/screens/gh/galantdl.htm
I need the font Galant for my Word:Mac operations and this site was
given me by a co-worker who only works on a PC.

Request for Question Clarification by maniac-ga on 28 Jan 2004 15:36 PST

Hello Bobalink,

I am not sure what question you need answered. You first state that
Google can't find the URL you listed, but it is one of the items
listed when I search with
  ://www.google.com/search?q=site:tele.net+galant&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

When I select that first URL with Safari (on my Mac OS X system), it
downloads just fine and gives me a directory with two files,
galant.ttf and galant.txt.

Are you having download problems or problems installing what's
downloaded into your system?
Please also describe which version of Mac OS you are using.

I have finally downloaded it to find it can be used for Windows only. I am
on a Mac 9OS.

Hello Bobalink,

The best way to handle the file you have is to use a file conversion
utility. I converted the Galant file with the this one, but others may
work as well.

  http://download.com.com/3000-2255-10139190.html?tag=lst-0-1
Transtype 2.1.1 - free to try (for up to three days) and $97 to buy
and use indefinitely. It should work on any version of classic Mac OS
after 7.6. I installed it using 9.2 and it worked just fine. If you
upgrade to Mac OS X, it also works under the Classic environment as
well.

To get the application using the link above:
  click on the "Download Now" link
You should get a file named
  TransType 2.1.1 DEMO Installer
Double click on that file and you should get a dialog box indicating
where to install the application. Select the disk to use (if you have
more than one) and then Install. You also have to accept the license
agreement - I suggest you review it first.

After the installation is done, a window popped up with the TransType
2 DEMO application inside. Double click on that file to run the
application. A window should appear with two blank areas at the top
and some buttons on the bottom.

Click the + button to and then select the file (e.g., galant5.ttf). If
you have more than one file to convert, select them as well to build
up the list at the top. There's a button that looks somewhat like O;
click it to convert the file(s). You will be prompted for the location
to put the converted files. After that step, you should see the
progress of font conversion. When done, click the far right button
(looks like a door) to exit.

At this point, drag the converted font files into your Fonts folder.
It should be something like
  System Folder
    Fonts
At this point, try an application (or KeyCaps) to view the converted fonts.

Some other font utility programs are listed at:
  http://download.com.com/3150-2255-0.html?tag=stbc.gp
or another font converter at
  http://www.freelang.net/fonts/mac_convert.html

To search for more of these types of applications, try search strings such as
  macintosh font converter
  mac os 9 truetype font converter
or similar phrases.

Please let me know if you have any problems following this answer or
need further help through a clarification request.

If you already have the URL (web address), why are you searching for
it?  I've seen so many people doing this and it makes me scratch my
head.

True fonts are the same for PC or Mac system (i tried it :) ). The
truetype works fine in my PC and in my Mac.. Maybe you have problems
installing it??.
Tell us more, please.
