Typeface in question: Adobe Stone font
Computers being used: Both PCs running XP Professional
Both running MS Word
Design Program: InDesign CS2

- - - - - -

I edit a university newspaper. Our staff writes and edits copy in MS Word that has a template/and style sheet with "styles and formats" designed to match those in InDesign CS2.

When we move or "place" our copy into InDesign, it does not recognize the font. The font family is the university's official typeface purchased through Adobe called "Stone." The family has a medium, semibold, bold, italic, serif and san serif.

Currently, when we send pull articles into InDesign (moving from PC to PC) the InDesign recognizes the font being used in copy as Stone "regular" font rather than Stone "medium."

As a result, whenever we place any articles into InDesign, we have to stop, highlight all the copy, then use the ID stylesheet to change it to "Stone" "medium," etc.

QUESTION: How can we get both computers to identify the fonts in the same way... Medium?

We're using the same fonts on both computers ... so it's weird science that one PC program identifies the (main body text) font as "Stone regular," but the the next PC doesn't recognize it at all OR it itentifies it as Stone "regular", which then has to be changed to medium.

Any thoughts/solutions???

My guess is there's something easy but it's blocking my view.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

Bob
