suitcase saga continues...
Thank you Jim,
You're right. The reason the incorrect fonts are loading is because the correct font is not always available. I guess the creative people should not be using auto-activation. We don't have a server-based font management, and every machine has different fonts, but jobs are passed from designer to designer.
It seems that this problem falls more in the "user error" catagory. In a perfect world, the designers would collect the fonts and the next person could pick up those fonts. Unfortunately, that is our procedure. It just isn't followed!
Server based font-management seems to be the only solution that would require less operator diligence. But again, our IT department is inflexible on this.
We don't even have "administrator" access to our Macs anywhere in our department. To do anything, we have to call IT and make an appointment! And when you tell them it's a Macintosh, they act like we've asked them to work on a live bomb!
Thanks again, guys. I appreciate the input.
I am curious about the Symbol font thing, though. Has anyone else had similar situations? I've never seen this before, but we use the math symbols and greek symbols quite a bit.
