We have been struggling the last few days trying to sort out problems with fonts in the System 7.0/Mac IIci and System 7.1/Mac IIvi work stations in the Graphics Department of the University. The problems are varied depending on what fonts we're trying to load. For example the Courier typeface supplied by ATM when loaded through the install mode of ATM is place into the "Extensions" folder in the "Systems" while the other three typefaces "Helvetica, Times, ?" go into the "Systems" folder. The "Helvetica" typeface will display in Adobe Illustrator 3.2 but will not print on our Laserwriter. Adobe 'stand-alone' typeface packages that we own also react differently. The "Math" typeface we own displays and prints without a problem, but the "Goudy" typeface will neither display or print! The problems go on and on. We are working with all Type 1 faces but have the Cassidy & Green boxed set of typefaces with both Adobe fonts and Trutype fonts. We haven't started to load these yet since we're having problems with the basic set. Can anyone enlighten me to a source for "font" talk for the MAC and does anyone have any info/experiences that could help me! Desperate!! Henry (dunsmore@upei.ca)
