Nope. OS/2 is a no longer made PC OS. Feel free to google it.
The point Toxaris made was that you need to check the mentioned compatibility attribute in the font file itself and modify it if needed.
Sorry! Didn't mean to offend! Honestly, I had no clue what was meant by "OS/2"! I'm a designer -- I can answer questions about that, but don't know the first thing, really, about the nuts'n'bolts of operating systems or hardware and stuff like that.

In any case, um, I guess I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to go looking for and/or checking. I just googled "OS/2 font compatibility", and then "check OS/2 font compatibility", but although that gives me a lot of really technical sites geared to type designers, somehow none of them seem to be what I'm looking for -- not to "check" a font if it's compatible, let alone convert my font(s) if they're not.

Ironically, I've been studying typography since I was a kid, and even type design as well (and even made a couple of fonts of my own), but this "OS/2 compatibility" thing is totally new to me -- never heard of it before.

Do you know of a website/link where I can do whatever it is that I'm supposed to do, i.e. check if my fonts are OS/2 compatible and, if not, convert them?

Thanks again!
