Jonathan,
As Bob says, we've covered all the bases we can think of. Just make sure that your purchased fonts are properly installed and activated. Unless you know exactly foundry, font, font technology that the client used, you will have to do manual font substitution as already mentioned.
A few other clues/twists/variables/hurdles: * The root of the problem:
my client is Mac, I'm on Windows.
Shouldn't matter. Just match the font names.
* The client did give me the fonts they used. Problem is, they're Mac
fonts, so of course I can't use them right now.
Can't legally do that anyway without being a software pirate. Fonts are licensed software, just like, say, Photoshop. In most cases, you cannot "lend" fonts to anyone any more than you can "lend" your Photoshop. Explain that to your client.
Neil
