I recommend contacting Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) by phone to see whether they can assist you. But they do support OpenType CFF fonts found on the newer versions of Font Folio. You didn't indicate which software you are planning to use under Windows, but the newest Microsoft applications and some other simply don't support Type 1 fonts anymore. If you purchased the Font Folio directly from Adobe, perhaps you could get some assistance in either replacing the CD or getting a low cost upgrade to a newer version of Font Folio which provides fully cross platform compatible OpenType CFF fonts. Otherwise, you could restore or even mount the image and get the Windows versions of the fonts. Unfortunately, you didn't back up the full CD to an ISO image. You also have the problem that the MacOS Type 1 fonts were stored in the file's “resource fork” for which there is no equivalent on Windows (or any other OS) - you would end up with file of zero bytes in length if you did a simple copy. Font Folio 9.0 was the first CD-ROM to partially introduce some OpenType fonts alongside a majority still in the older Type 1 format, reaching an all-time high totaling over 2,750 fonts. It was the last version to offer fonts in Type 1 format. Different font metric information is used in the different formats. Adobe Font Folio 9.0 is the ninth major version of the Font Folio typeface library, released by Adobe Systems in January 2001. There is no exact 1:1 conversion of the MacOS versions to the Windows Type 1 equivalent fonts.
