Re: Mysterious missing fonts

I use those Futura fonts all the time, and I think (but am not positive) 
that I originally obtained those fonts from the VP8 disk.  Have you tried 
inserting the VP8 disk, and then having Font Nav search that disk for fonts 
and tried installing that way?  This usually works for me.

Here's an oddity:

This PC (call it PC1) had a spectacular crash a month or so ago, so XP and 
all the applications - including Ventura 10 - had to be reinstalled. All is 
now OK (yes, I'd got a backup!) but I find that some fonts are now reported 
as missing when I use Ventura 10 to load a previously created Ventura file: 
including:

FuturaXBlkCnCnIt BT-Normal

FuturaXBlkIT BT-Normal

ZapfDingbats BT-Normal

Palatino Normal

These are the names Ventura uses, rather than their 'true' names.

The odd thing is that on my other PC (PC2) the same VP file loads perfectly.

I've tried installing the fonts from PC2 to PC1 - both the TrueType and 
Adobe ones. I suspected that an old version of Ventura might have installed 
a load of other fonts in the past, so I even installed Ventura 8 on PC1, but 
no luck!

Any ideas of where these fonts may have come from in the first place and how 
I can get them back again?

Thanks Kevin - that's where they were!
