Adding Fonts to Illustrator 10

[C_A_C@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I have a bunch of fonts in several areas (or so I find) but can only use the default ones from Illustrator. HOW can I access ALL of the fonts that I actually have while working in Illustrator 10??

Thanks in advance for the HELP? -CC

Illustrator uses fonts that are active in the system. Make your fonts active at the sytem level and relaunch Illustrator.

Active at the System Level? Could you explain this, or rather HOW do I Make my fonts active at the sytem level? Thanks.

Place your font in one of the following....

[hard drive]/library/fonts

[hard drive]/users/[user]/library/fonts

relaunch Illustrator.

I have downloaded "Shelley Allegro" and need to add it to the font list in Ilustrator 10. How do I do it? The system I am using is 2000 professional.

Doug,

Place it where you have your other fonts, and Illy will find it; it may be C:\Windows\Fonts (as in XP); you may simply search for Fonts.
