Hi,
My name is anton. I just started work as a graphic designer and the company uses macs. I am used to using a PC platform.
Anyway, the company bought a new Imac, from my understanding it is Mac 10.6 known as leopard i think? forgive me i do not know much about macs.
Anyway, the company saved all their fonts onto the database for me to install into my workstation. I tried installing it, and most of it did install. When i opened adobe illustrator and opened up a formor project it couldn't find a font, Century Gothic. So i tried downloading it and saving it from the other stations, but it wouldn't install. I then renamed it to century gothic.tff. Restarted my mac then it worked.
Next day i tried opening a different project, and now it can not find the font FRIZ QUADRATA. I tried doing the same process i did for the Centry Gothic font, it didn't work. I tried changing the file extension, i tried saving the WHOLE FONTS FOLDER from the other station(as the files are .ffil and .lwfn) so i thought this might work. It didn't. I even tried downloading font finagler, that didn't work either.
So I figure to ask Mac directly on how to solve this problem, as i cannot start any of the projects given to me which needs to be started ASAP.
So basically i need a solution on how to transfer ALL/most of the fonts from the other mac to this new mac. There are about 600 fonts i think, or something close to that number.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Anton
