font-bookmacos
I am programming an application for IOS 5, but I need to use a different font. I found the perfect font for the job in Font Book, but it needs to be a TrueType Font file. Is there an easy way to do this?
By the way, if you can tell me how to make my own, I would appreciate it.
I'll bet you have a font corruption problem.
And so on.
You should be able to narrow down the problem without having to import each font one at a time. But my guess is that one or more of your fonts is corrupted.
Snow Leopard's CharacterPalette.app still works on 10.7:
Those "iOS symbols" shown in the screenshot above are glyph variants that are specific to Apple Symbols. For example the turned arrow icon is a variant of Ꮿ. There doesn't seem to be any way to show them in 10.7's Character Viewer.
You could also use Font Book to save a PDF file for all characters in a font:

Font Book is an application, not a font format. Some fonts that appear in Font Book are True Type fonts. For those that are not, the question is about converting that specific format.
To find the file for a particular font, select it in Font Book, control-click it, and select "Show in Finder". You can then see what the format is on the file.
