Please help. I'm using Illustrator 9 in OSX.1 to finish a logo. The font I need is native in OSX but for some reason Classic apps will only access Fonts in OS9.

I need Illustrator to see "Copperplate Gothic" series of font's that are in OSX and when I go to the system >fonts folder I don't even see "Copperplate Gothic" so I don't even know where the heck it is. Even Sherlock can't find it.

Help..
Giulio

The two most likely locations for an OS X font are /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts. I'm at work on a WinNT box right now, so I can't check on this, but I believe that Sherlock is not able to index your user directory. So ~/Library/Fonts is the first place I would look.
If you still have no luck, try downloading it and adding it directly to your OS 9 system folder.
