Reply To: Font won't change!

Well, I had a nice post all typed up, but when I hit submit, the forum said I wasn’t logged in and thus my post disappeared. Here’s what I basically replied with.

It sounds like a font conflict. If your machine shows some files with the fonts tracking to the library font and others to the Document fonts folder, then that isn’t right. It means it’s being accessed from two places.

That’s why I keep my system and library fonts to a bare minimum. Just what’s required by the OS.

My guess is you can’t replace the font for those two files because InDesign doesn’t know where to grab the font from.

It would be interesting to know if those two files were done a PC or not. That would definitely narrow it down.

What happens if you remove Rosewood from your library font folder?

Also–just in case those other students are on Macs–maybe have them package the document with the fonts (it will create it’s own document fonts folder).

Fonts issues can be a nightmare.

I’m leaning towards a conflict.
