Do NOT Attach Files Here Unless....

[rdomaschuk]

Hey everyone,

 

Feel free to complain as much as you want about those pesky fonts but, please, do not attach the font file here; that could constitute a license violation.

 

Thanks, and let's hear your font (horror) stories.

This one time in band camp.....

 

 

'Load Fonts' Have had to do this multiple times. A couple times to make it kick off the system needed a reboot.

 

Overall todate font's have not been 'that' bad of an issue. As long as we do EVERYTHING on the Mac.

Font horror stories are probably as plentiful as mortgage defaults and bank failures.

 

I'm looking for a solution!

 

I work on a PC and I frequently have to make a template from a Mac InDesign file. Is there any way out there to make fonts recognizable and work across platforms? Just today a ran into Helvetica Neue needing to be changed over. Why isn't it the same font on both machines?!

 

Also, our Macs have a lot more fonts to choose from. What are some good sources for aquiring fonts?

 

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure there is a good explanation, I just don't know much about fonts.
