Sorry for posting this here, but maybe one of you ATM 4.1 gurus will know just what the fix is. 

===== OK. 

I am having problems with Illustrator not seeing my Times New Roman, Arial, and Symbol TrueType fonts. Illustrator only lets me see and select the Type 1 versions of these fonts. 

ISSUE: I want to use TTFs Arial and TNR and Symbol in my Illustrator files. 

I bought and installed ATM 4.1 Deluxe. It sees my TTFs fine. 

1) I tried to find all instances of fonts on my system. Adobe installs fonts all over the place, and installs duplicates, too. For example, Adobe put the same fonts: 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts 

and 

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Resource\Font 

2) I assume I can delete these folders? 

3) I added the fonts from these locations in TypeManager by copying. 

4) I then turned off the Adobe Type 1 Symbol font, the TNR and Arial Type 1 fonts. I want to use the TTF versions of these fonts. 

5) And, Type Manager can see the TrueType versions. 

6) However, Illustrator still is using the Type 1 fonts. How? 

7) Illustrator does not see or let me select the TTFs. Why not? 

8) I deleted all instances of the AdobeFontList that I could find. It did not help. 

Cheers, 

Sean
