Hi there, posting to other groups didn't bring any hints to solve my font-problem in an acteptable way (BTW: Thanks to all who answered). The problem I've got: NS2.1 installed, I used without problems fonts with the following names: - Garamond (the ITC Garamond) - AdobeGaramond - StempelGaramond - Garamond Three After installing NS3.0 the AdobeGaramond and StempelGaramond disappeared from the font panel. A second run of 'font_update_2.0' (which works in 3.0 as fine as in 2.1!), 'buildafmdir' and at least 'cacheAFMData' didn't fix the problem. The fonts were shown as existing in the shell - but that doesn't fit to reality! Using the old versions of 'font_update_2.0' and 'buildafmdir' (from NS 2.1 - the new 'buildafmdir' allows only to install about 256 fonts) didn't fix the problem, too. Renaming the fonts AdobeGaramond to AdobeGaramont - using the T instead of D and StempelGaramond to Stempel - without 'Garamond (which was indeed a hard job - you have to do this into the outline and afm-files, too!) the fonts were represented with their new names in the font panel. This might be only a interim fix - you get a lot of troubles in comunication with others (like Linotype-Services) because their fonts have the original names. Using the self-created new names results prints in Courier. So my question to all reading this group: Is this a known bug in NS 3.0? Does anybody work on it? When NS 3.1 is available? Will it be free for 3.0-users? Any suggestions to my font-problem? Thanks for answering.
