4. Next we need to check the encoding.
It is unclear from the input specifications in the legend
panel that TransType can detect the source encoding
(below). This is because the font is inside the Mac
suitcase. We'll have to open it and look inside (next
step). More here
on TransType's font input and output specifications.
5. Click the drop-down arrow to the right
of the font in the source list to check the the source
encoding (circled below). In the popup menu there is
a check mark next to "Use names". Names encoding
is the character identification method for Type 1 fonts
(more
here). We are converting a Type 1 font, so TransType
understands the source font's encoding. You always want
to make sure the encoding is accounted for. Leave nothing
to chance.
