Installing new fonts in Illustrator
i frustrated illustrator's font handling, , on-line helps seem below worthless -
received file yesterday font not resident on system, customer included separate (ttf) file. installed font in windows/fonts (the place know install it) , opened file, , voila! there is. today, when try re-open file, continually old "font not found on system" flag. tired of that. font still there, , accessible other, more user-friendly applications, adobe doesn't see it.
windows on c drive, adobe , archived graphic files on e drive, thought might problem - so, per instructions on illustrator on line "help", created "program files/common files/adobe/fonts" folder on e drive , moved new font there. adobe still doesn't see it.
i might add have dozens of nice bought-and-paid-for fonts in "windows/fonts" seem have no problem accessing other programs - not adobe. there special secret installing fonts adobe, , being able use them?
(i'm running cs5 - have discs in hand 6, haven't installed them yet.)
what version of windows running? why did install illustrator on e drive?
i believe solution may reinstall illustrator on c drive--that's programs 'should' installed , that's program fonts first.
with windows, fonts folder place install fonts. windows there 1 registry file , that's registry entries installed--so installing program on different drive seems asking problems (at least seems doing did increase 'launch' time while program trying find it's pieces).
re: "i created "program files/common files/adobe/fonts" folder on e drive , moved new font there."
there should folder name (program files) on e drive if that's installed application.
