Can I transfer all my old os 9 fonts to my new intel imac? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance to all who can and will answer this question.
Needless to say I am a total newbie to OSX. Got a intel imac for Christmas (very lucky!!! Nice Santa!!)
Like it states below, I have been using a G4 in os9.2, and I have all these lovely fonts (Adobe and Trutype, etc.) That I am hoping to somehow use. I would hate to think that i have to purchase all new openface versions.
I have extensis fontDoctor 7.3, and rumor has it, it will convert fonts, is this true? And if so, how? And if not, does anyone know if there is an extention or software that will do this. Please Help!!!
Me and my wallet thank you again.
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) was running a older G4 in os9.2

From the article, I would think that your Postscript fonts should be supported just fine;
Mac OS X delivers industry-leading support for popular font formats:
• PostScript Type 1 (with double-byte support). Adobe PostScript fonts launched the desktop publishing industry and are used today by publishers, corporations, and government agencies for high-quality output to laser printers, imagesetters, and platesetters. Each PostScript font requires two files, one for the screen and one for use by the printer's RIP (raster image processor). Mac OS X is the only operating system that provides native PostScript Type 1 font support.
• OpenType. OpenType fonts (extension .otf) can contain 65,000 different glyphs, so type can be set in non-Roman languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. There are Macintosh- and Windows-specific OpenType formats; Mac OS X supports both.
• TrueType. TrueType fonts (extension .ttf) are typically used in home and office environments. A single file contains both screen and printer font information. Mac OS X supports both Macintosh- and Windows-specific TrueType formats.
• Multiple Master. This special type of PostScript font allows variation of one or more font parameters (such as weight) to create a large number of custom styles, also known as instances. Mac OS X can activate already created instances of Multiple Master fonts.
In your case aren't the Bitmap files the screen fonts, so you can wysiwyg the raaster files?
The classic environment still runs on the PowerPC Macs, many of which are also running Mac OS X 4.X. The article was addressed generally to all OS X users.
I have heard of Sheep Shaver to run the Classic OS 9 in emulation, but I gave up OS 9 in late 2001, so I have never needed to explore this option. Some have posted that it didn't work so well.

Can I transfer all my old iPad apps and data to a new ipad3?

I am thinking of buying the new iPad 3, will I be able to transfer everything from my current iPad?

Sure you can.
Continue to backup the old iPad until you get the new one. You should back up and sync with iTunes. Syncing with iTunes will transfer all of your purchased content into iTunes on your computer.
When the new iPad arrives - you can plug in into your computer, launch iTunes and iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the iPad backup or set up as new. Restore from the iPad backup and then sync with iTunes to move all of your iTunes content onto the new iPad.
If you want to wipe the old iPad in order to sell it - go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings.
If you want to restore from an iCloud backup - read this.

Here's how:
Get a Firewire cable. With both computers turned off connect the two with the Firewire cable. Boot the PB into Target Disk Mode. After the TDM screen appears on the PB boot the MBP normally. The PB's hard drive should appear on the MBP's Desktop. You can then transfer the needed files using Drag and Drop.
Here is a list of where your important data is stored ("~" stands for "Home"):
In your Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your ~/Library/ folder:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in ~/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
~ /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~ /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft

How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

Hi Vanessa,
There are two ways to solve your problem.
1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
Hope this helps

Hard drive crashed and had over 800 songs on my iPod. Can I transfer all my songs from my iPod to my new computer so I can download new songs without losing any of my songs?

My old desktop crashed and I had over 800+ songs on my old computer. I have a new laptop but want to transfer ALL songs to my new computer not just those purchased on iTunes. I want to save all 800+ songs and then begin to download new songs to my iPod. Any suggestions?

Why can't I transfer all my old Mac Pro stuff onto my new Mac Pro?

Just got this brand new Macpro and all I'd like to do is to copy all that is on my older Macpro onto the new one. Migrating used to be easy but now with both computers using Mavericks 10.9.2, and following all that is explained about Migrating, it just doesn't work. I think (not absolutely) that it would have transferred from my Time Machine, but it said it would take 120 hours! Did not seem to make sense to me so I cancelled. I'm trying to do it over wi-fi. The signal is very strong. What's going on?

First, you can't really rely on the time estimate it gives. That's based on an average of the number of files and the sizes of the files it's copied so far. That number will jump around as the copying proceeds. That said, wifi is a slow way to go. You'd be better off plugging both Macs into Ethernet for the duration of the transfer or wiring them directly. Wired is always faster than wireless.

How can I transfer all my data, such as birthdays, to a new calendar?

Every year I end up typing in the birthdays and anniversaries all over again because I don't know how to transfer that information to a new year calendar. Is there a way to do it or do I just have to keep typing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an Ipad2 and am thinking of upgrading to the ipad3. If i do so can i transfer all the apps i have purchased to the new machine or do i have to buy them again.

I have an ipad2 which i am thinking of upgrading to the new ipad3.
I have purchased quite a few apps and wish to know if i can just use them on the new machine or will i have to purchase them again.

If you register both iPads with the same Apple ID, all your previously purchased apps will be available for free in App Store under the "purchased" tab.

Can't Get Win Zip Or Win Rar To Work On New Intel imac.......

Hi guys,
As the title suggests really.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong during the installation process or whether both software programs just arn't compatible with the new mac's yet.
I am downloading the program then I just cant find a setup file to initiate the install. When I have installed stuff on the mac normally installation is automatic (i.e asks if you wan't to install).
Any advice would be great or if there is a more suitable zip program for the mac then I would loke to know.
Many Thanks
Nathan

Hi guys,
In response to the question I realise that windows software and files are not compatible with mac.
The software I was trying to install clearly stated mac os x 10.4 compatible but just didn't install, so perhaps it either wasn't actually os x 10 compatible or just maybe not intel.
Either way I now know that Win Rar and Win Zip are not actually OS X compatible apps, so in light of this which is the best one to install as there are a couple of suggestions here.
Many thanks for your quick responses, help and patience with me.
All the best, Nathan.

How can i transfer all my stuff in iphone to itunes in my new computer?

How can i transfer all my stuff to i tunes in my new computer?
(will all stuff be removed in my iphone if i just sync it with the new downloaded i tunes?)

No, as long as the iTunes ID you use is the same one as on your iPhone and your old computer.
But it goes without saying you should make a backup first.

Can you transfer all the application from a laptop to ipad 2 ???

Can you transfer all application from my laptop to ipad 2 like vMware fusion and other ???

The iPad runs a completely different operating system from a Windows or Mac (even though they're both made by Apple) - it's called iOS. The only apps that you can run on it are those you can purchase from the App Store (you can get free ones there as well). Some programs have both computer and iOS versions, but they are separate pieces of software.
