PostScript name is identical in Mac OS and in Windows
Type 1 fonts (also called PostScript fonts) often appear with different names in Mac OS font menus than they do in Windows font menus. While each Type 1 font has a unique PostScript name that is identical in Mac OS and in Windows, the same Type 1 font appears with a different name in font menus in Mac OS, in font menus in Windows, and in Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows. These name differences can lead to a perception that fonts are missing in Windows, and can cause fonts to be substituted with other fonts when you transfer files across platforms.Although fonts may have different names on different platforms, once you understand font name style links, you can use them to access your fonts on both platforms and avoid font matching problems
