I'm having a problem converting from a Mac to Windows at work.

All the companies fonts are stored on a web server, and works like a charm on Mac, However, when I try to install PostScript & TrueType fonts, it shows no extension name, and have a file size of 0KB. If I try and write the file extension, and install it says invalid font (still 0KB) On OpenType fonts it work fine. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? (There is hundreds of fonts that I need to install)

TL;DR - Get on a Mac, install Transtype trial, and convert the files, even if it gives you errors when adding them. Just do it and you should get some functional TTF or OTF files.

I managed to set up Windows 7 to render and deal with them by using GhostScript. I've downloaded Transtype (trial) on one of my coworker's Macs and it did the thing. It made TTF/OTF files from the old Type 1 files, even though the Type 1 gave Transtype errors on the Mac.
