Procedure is that the designers are supposed to collect all fonts and put them on the server with the job. Unfortunately, the procedure is rarely followed.

Another problem is that fonts are supplied with jobs by outside agencies, and those are filed with that job. But because the users have Suitcase set to copy all fonts into the vault, they wind up using those fonts in other jobs, not realizing they are not our fonts.

I'm coming to the conclusion that this is a user problem. Even if we issue a new set of fonts to everyone, that will soon become obsolete as new fonts come in from clients and outside design agencies.

Thank you, everyone, for your help.

I am curious, though. Has anyone else had the Symbol font problem?
