Exporting Font files

[lee_collison@adobeforums.com]

I have recently bought a new computer and re install Illustrator 9, but I am missing a font file that was installed a few years ago in Illustrator. How can I export or get that font from the old computer to the new computer. I have already looked in Control Panel > Fonts on the old computer and it is not there, it is only under Illustrator font list.

Lee,

Very likely, it is a font installed in Illustrator's local font folder.

On my IL 10 setup, that folder is at {IL10 install folder} | Support Files | Required | Fonts.

On my IL 8 setup, that folder is at {IL8 install folder} | Required | Fonts.

Find the equivalent folder for your old IL 9 setup... and I'm sure you can take it from there.

....and, I don't know whether this is true of IL 9, but most newer version Adobe apps will additionally use fonts in a common folder. On my WinXP setup that folder is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts.
