- So, I'm working on a machine with 7.1 installed. I need to use the font
- TektonBoldOblique, so I drag both the screen font and the outline font into
- the new Font folder. I open up my application, and sure enough, there's
- TektonBoldOblique. However, also present is Tekton, TektonOblique, and
- TektonBold. Hmm.
-
- I checked in both the system file and all the font suitcases in the Font
- folder. Those mysterious three were nowhere to be found. I removed
- TektonBoldOblique, and all four disappear from my menues. I put it back and
- tried typing a bit in each of the four styles. Well, each one produces the
- same text: TektonBoldOblique. Is this normal?
-
- Cheers,
- Matt
