Font Problem in Tiger

[Raijer]

Well, just got a new G5, and with it, the latest version of OS X. The first wall I've hit is that I can't install some of the fonts I was using on my previous machine into Font Book. Specifically, PostScript Type 1 fonts. When I try to add them, and browse to their location, they're greyed out - nor will it let me drag 'em into the Font Book window.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the subject.

Are they OS 9 suitcase fonts?

Get suitcase,....Or take them out of the suitcase.

Do a search for Linotype Font Explorer and use that. It's a free download.

"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared humdedum.

"Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Post Gruff, and I'm going up to the Get New button to make myself useful," said the member, with such a small voice.

"Now, I'm coming to gobble you up," said humdedum.

"Oh, no! pray don't flame me. I'm too little, that I am," said the member. "Wait a bit till the Moderator comes. He's much bigger."

"Well, be off with you," said humdedum.
