- We have been struggling the last few days trying to sort out problems with
- fonts in the System 7.0/Mac IIci and System 7.1/Mac IIvi work stations in
- the Graphics Department of the University.
-
- The problems are varied depending on what fonts we're trying to load. For
- example the Courier typeface supplied by ATM when loaded through the install
- mode of ATM is place into the "Extensions" folder in the "Systems" while the
- other three typefaces "Helvetica, Times, ?" go into the "Systems" folder.
- The "Helvetica" typeface will display in Adobe Illustrator 3.2 but will not
- print on our Laserwriter. Adobe 'stand-alone' typeface packages that we own
- also react differently. The "Math" typeface we own displays and prints
- without a problem, but the "Goudy" typeface will neither display or print!
-
- The problems go on and on. We are working with all Type 1 faces but have
- the Cassidy & Green boxed set of typefaces with both Adobe fonts and Trutype
- fonts. We haven't started to load these yet since we're having problems
- with the basic set.
-
- Can anyone enlighten me to a source for "font" talk for the MAC and does
- anyone have any info/experiences that could help me!
-
- Desperate!!
