12. Simply click the "Convert" button to convert the font.

13. TransType will ask you to select a destination folder for the converted font. Navigate to the desired folder then press the "Select" button.

14. The converted font files will appear on your drive.

15. Copy these files to the PC either by using a PC-formatted disk or by sending them over a network (more here on copying files between Mac and PC).

16. The converted font will appear on your drive. TransType will generate an .AFM and an .INF file in addition to the .PFB and .PFM file (more here on variations of PC Type 1 fonts). Install the font using ATM (more here on installing Type 1 fonts on the PC using ATM).

17. If you want, you can check the kerning after converting the font. In this case I used Typograf and selected the "Kerning" tab from the font properties (more details on Typograf here). Everything checks out okay and the kerning metrics were included in the conversion.
