Greetings everyone...I am sure glad I came across this post. This has been very informative and helpful and I was able to diagnose exactly what is going on with my Adobe Font Folio fonts after a new computer purchase.

I'm having the same issue as you all...damned if I thought a new laptop was going to give me LESS problems =)

Here's my info:
Dell Latitude E6500
Windows XPSP3
nVidia Quadro NVS160M

I'm experiencing the same issues/symptoms as the rest of you...Type 1 fonts won't preview/activate in Suitcase, the Windows System Fonts folder, or a variety of other applications I attempted (I originally was thinking this was software-related).

I'm on hold now, waiting to speak to a Dell Tech Support Person and will let you all know what, if anything I can find out.

IMO, this is ridiculous that nVidia/Dell/whoever made an oversight of this magnitude...my workflow is at a standstill right now until I a.) fix the problem, b.) use my old machine, or c.) scrap everything and buy something new.
