MACS - PCs - SMB - ExtremeZ

[WharfRat]

I am planning a move from a MAC mini Fusion server back to a KickButt PC server I have sitting around.
I, know in the past, (from Rampage days) the hot setup was to run ExtremeZ-IP
on the server to run AFP and mostly to resolve font transfer problems.
-
Now -- if SMB is the network connection protocol
do these "old" font issues persist?
Or,
do MAC and PC fonts act politely through SMB?

I ran a quick test
and the MAC fonts hit the PC server and showed 0kb
but
when I brought them back over to the MAC
they were complete useable fonts - all intact.

Was that just beginners luck?

Will the 0kb PC (MAC) fonts
load into Suitcase and act properly?

That ... I will be testing tomorrow.

We use only SMB here and fonts work fine. Where you will have problems are fonts that were previously copied to AFP shares. As long as you only use SMB and start with files already sitting on a Mac system and not on an old AFP share it should work fine.

Great - I will give it a whirl.

Or if they are on old AFP shares copy them to the Mac and then to the new SMB server share.
