first, the adobe login and customer support pages are terrible. I had trouble logging in---the login toggled between claiming it did know me and that my name was already registered. I could not find a simple place to ask a pre-sales question, either.

could someone please send me an email where to inquire about specific fonts PRE-SALES?

I have a specific strange problem. My typesetter has used a particular set of fonts, that are so old that he does not remember where he got them from. I am 90% sure that they are adobe-linotype fonts, though. most work just fine, except for Optima fonts (op.pfb)---which I believe is another hint that these are adobe fonts, because the forums noted some problems with these fonts a long time ago.

now, I want to purchase the 20 or so fonts he has used. I can get the afm files and the pfb files from him. is there a sales rep who we can email the fonts to, and this sales rep would then tell us what I need to purchase? [And, I also need the Optima font without the offending problem in it.)

sincerely,

/ivo welch
