Re: Illustrator CS Font Problems
Lisa,
I understand. Too big to want to send. OK. I would make sure my fonts are loaded. You may want to quit Illustrator as well as any font software you have open, drag your fonts into /Users/Username/Library/Fonts. Open Illustrator. Open document. Do you get any message that the fonts are missing or to update because the document was created in a previous version of Illustrator? If you get the message to update, you can either not update (in which case in edit mode your type will look like placed boxes and the fonts will not show up in Find Font), or choose to update. If you choose to update, the tracking may be different than it was previously, but any used fonts will show up in Find Font. Because it may be different tracking than used before, I usually choose to open the document, then click on the type I want to change, and click Copy, which makes the original type as gray color and locked, and copied an updated editable copy on top of it, so that it is easy to see the difference between the original and updated type. Then I can easily change tracking to get the original appearance, and then hide the editable type and unlock and delete the gray original, then show the editable type.
