OTF font not installing into CorelDRAW 12 suite of
applications

I recently purchased the khaki family of fonts in the open type font (OTF) 
format.  I installed the fonts using the Windows XP font installer (done 
this NUMEROUS times with other fonts, including OTF fonts).  The fonts show 
up in all other software programs, but NONE of my CorelDRAW 12 suite of 
applications.

I tried re-installing using the Bitstream Font Navigator (v.5) and I get the 
same results.

Is anyone aware of any bugs or problems installing OTF fonts?

Any suggestions for resolving my issue?

Thank you for ANY help!

It's a BFN problem, not a Corel problem. Just create a shortcut (or a 
copy) of the OTF file into the Windows\Fonts directory. Corel will see 
it even if BFN won't. (Pretty silly, since Bitstream is a business 
dealing almost exclusively with fonts, eh?)

If you read the original post you will find that he did that already and it 
still did not work! So perhaps it is not a BFN issue after all?

I have a number of open type fonts installed, which show up fine & work 
in CD 12. If it is this one batch of fonts that gives you a problem, I 
suspect they may be flawed, at least with respect to Corel Draw.

Right you are, and I'm sorry Treavor. Have you tried to repair your CGS 
installation?
