I just did a new install on my MBP 2.33 to Leopard but seem to have lost all my Adobe Fonts in the font menus. Is Leopard all Openface fonts now? What I did was drag my old Adobe Fonts and their suitcases to /library/fonts/ .

Under Tiger all the fonts were available to me w/o problems . . . they are not coming up under Leopard.

I'll dig up my old font CDs and re-install but have there been changes to the way Adobe Fonts are handled in the OS??

Thanks.

I've had no problems using postscript (and truetype, and opentype) fonts in Leopard. However, I've been using a 3rd party font manager (Linotype FontExplorer X) since well before Leopard.

Can you see them in Font Book? My font library is too small for a font manager, but it is a yard sale of a couple hundred OpenType, TrueType and PostScript. It survived the transition to Leopard. Actually, many of them came through System 9.

They are not coming up in Font Book. I used to just throw them into my fonts folder and everything was okay.

I'm doing a repair permissions right now and if that fails will try installing new copy of the fonts.

I re-installed from my original files and things are okay. Guess they were corrupted somehow.
