Stylus BT

Projects created in AC14 and below using Stylus BT font are substituted in AC15. AC15 doesn't have Stylus BT. Any obvious solution I'm missing?

Thanks so much,
Jim

Hard to imagine... are you sure that the computer with AC 15 has Stylus BT installed?

I just took the Stylus BT font file from an XP machine and installed it on my Mac and AC 15 has no problem with it. This old 1995 Bitstream font, distributed by Microsoft, might have other issues causing the problem?

When you say "substituted", if you select a block of text that WAS Stylus BT, does the font show up in square brackets as [Stylus BT] - and then the appearance is different? The square brackets mean that AC cannot find a font with that name. Moving files from Windows to Mac often results in this issue, as one or the other platform appends Western or Roman (etc) making the font name not match exactly - even though the font is installed. My experience is that moving from Mac to Windows is never a problem with fonts, but the other direction often has name matching issues.

Thanks Karl, that's it. Windows must be missing it. I just went from Vista to W7. Thanks for the quick reply.
