Extracting .bin Font for PC

Need quick advice!

A client has given me his logo fonts with .bin extensions. As I understand, this is a MAC format.

Is there a quick way to extract these fonts son that they can be installed on PC, or should I find the PC based fonts.

Thanks!

.bin isn't itself a font extension - it almost certainly just means that the file has been compressed with Stuffit.

Download the Windows version of Stuffit Expander (free) and use it to extract whatever is in the .bin files. If you are lucky they may be TrueType or OpenType and you may be able to use them as they are on the PC. If not, at least you should be able to see the font names and be able to work out which fonts you need to find Windows versions for.
