I don't quite know what you are talking about. Adobe applications do indeed see any and all Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts properly installed by Windows, whether or not they are physically placed in C:\Windows\fonts or installed via links to elsewhere. And Windows does not have the concept of �activating� or �deactivating� a font. A font is either fully installed or not. What is true is that if you install a font with Windows while an Adobe application is running, that application will not likely see that font immediately, but only after restarting the application. By the way, I've seen no difference between how Adobe applications run with regards to fonts between 32-bit Windows XP or Vista versus 64-bit Vista - I have at least one system running each of these! - Dov
