[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 383083, member: 10090"] Sounds to me like whatever font you used on the mac isn't installed on the PC. This does happen, and is a common issue for those of us in design. Most fonts can be read by both however, so it's a simple matter of getting the font off of the mac and installed on the PC. What happens is, when the PC tries to open your file, it realizes that it doesn't have the font, so it alerts you, and then replaces it with it's default font. Then, when you bring the file back over to the mac, after saving it w/ the PC's default font, the mac might not have the font the PC used installed! I forget with photoshop, but I know that in the other adobe software its possible to save the file with the font embedded, so there's no problems. No matter what they say, there are certain issues when transferring CS 2 files between platforms. Working professionally, I have to keep both a PC and Mac in house so that I can properly open whatever files my clients might send me. The only true adobe universal is .pdf files, which I often use when working with printing companies who sometimes don't always have the most up to date software. [/QUOTE]
