My Leopard needs a font !!

My daughter bought "Oregon Trail" and I find that it will not load on either my Tiger or Leopard MacBook because OS X doesn't have a font native to OS 9 - namely "New York 18." Can anyone tell me where to get it, please. Can't find a download anywhere. My cute 10 year old daughter thanks you!!

MBP 15", Mac OS X (10.5.2)

I have the font "New York" but not "New York 18". If you want to try it, click on my name at left & send me an email.

Hi, jhaynes47 -

You can download New York in TrueType format from this webpage -
http://www.masterstech-home.com/TheLibrary/Font_Samples/FontIndices/N.html

Although that download is for a TrueType version, the suitcase does contain a separate bitmapped file for New York 18 (just downloaded it and checked).

If Oregon Trail runs in Classic, be sure to place that font in the Fonts folder in OS 9's System Folder - Classic can't access fonts located elsewhere; however, OSX will be able to access fonts located in OS 9's Fonts folder.
