It is a very popular font format, that is supported by many operating systems (Microsoft Windows, MAC OS X, Linux).

Download Adobe For Mac

Adobe provided a method starting in the CS2 versions of their DTP software. Place them in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/ folder and you will be able to use Windows Type 1 PostScript fonts with the Adobe programs. The CS4 and CS5 programs do not create the Fonts folder mentioned. But all you have to do is go to the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder and create a new folder named Fonts.

Install Adobe For Mac

For all other apps under OS X, you need to convert the fonts to a format the Mac can read. You can convert to Mac Legacy TrueType suitcase, Mac Type 1 PostScript, or preferably, OpenType PostScript. FontLab Studio and Fontographer can do this, but they aren't cheap. The only free method I know of is FontForge, which is a free open source font editor. You must install X11 (if it isn't already) to use FontForge.
