Re: Font Problem

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the suggestion doesn't help the problem. As I explained in my original post, I run into no problems on other clients. It is something unique to this machine and has nothing to do with Mac fonts. Any other ideas? Thanks!


IIRC, *.otf fonts follow the tradition of the original Postscript
fonts by Adobe and popularized by Apple. The possibility does exist
that if this particular machine does not have any Adobe products
installed, viz., Acrobat or Type Manage, the conversion to a Windows
readable form, i.e., *.ttf or *.pfm, does not occur. I have not come
across this issue and the only reason I can think of is that I do
install Adobe ATM as a matter-of-course when setting up the basic
system (before installing working apps). If somebody else wishes to
chip in on this interesting question, please do.
