How To Import Windows Fonts

Hello Everyone
I am new to managing fonts and am in the process of designing a web site for someone who uses Windows not OSX. He really likes their Broadway font. I don't have this no my iMac. I have been searching all over the forums but can not see a thread that explains how to export all the Windows fonts off a PC I have running XP to my iMac. I am in the process of downloading a trial copy of Suitcase as many threads mentioned this as the application to do it (still not sure myself though).
It would be great if I could move copies of all the fonts that my PC has over to my Mac so that I don't run into this issue in th future. Can anyone provide me with the step by step guide to doing this?
Many thanks in advance
David

Hi David -
Although Suitcase is a fine app you don't need it for this as long as the fonts are compatible. Most TrueType & OpenType fonts are, but I would hesitate to simply try to use all - especially since some are already on both... such as those included with MS Office & certain other apps.
On the PC access the Fonts folder through an explorer window, copy the desired font(s)to a folder on the desktop. Either copy/move that to a USB drive or other sharable media - or email them to yourself as an attachment. When you open the folder on the Mac those that are usable will have a recognized icon - any with a generic icon you can assume are not Mac-compatible.
Drag the good ones to your User fonts folder or use Font Book/Suitcase to install the fonts. I'd suggest doing so a few at a time & launch a program between goups to insure there isn't any 'hiccup'. That way it's easier to narrow down the culprit if there is a problem.
Just try to avoid duplicates & don't be surprised if Word as well as other programs take a little longer to launch the first time afterwards if you install a lot of new fonts.

  • How to import a font?

    Hi,
    I have just installed a new truetype font on my PC (XP SP2) which appears fine everywhere except CS3, can anyone please advise how to import into CS3?
    Thanks
    PN

    Peter,
    You haven't said which applications. Do you mean Photoshop or all CS3 apps across the board?
    However, first, check if it's not showing up under a slightly different name - it's been known to happen.

    What's really annoying me is that I managed it when I got the phone but have since had to reset the phone, lost all contacts and now can't get them back.

    Microsoft has a PST Importer for Entourage 2004 (look down in the bottom right). I don't see one for Entourage 2008; maybe it can do this directly.
    Hope this helps...

    If yes, please, let me know.

  • How can I print a LabView report using the printer font (not a windows font)?

    My printer is connected via a com interface. For speed reason I have to use the font of the printer. I use the report generation VIs to generate my report. With the VI "Set Report Font.vi" its possible to choose a font but I think only windows fonts are accepted.
    Printing from "WordPad" using printer fonts is no problem, just select font "15 CPI" for example. But how does it work with LabView?

    Have you already tried this in LabVIEW? What results did you receive when you tried it?

    Microsoft store will provide a download manager (.exe) using your Product Key, which needs to be run on a PC. This manager will then let you download an ISO image to a USB and/or DVD.

  • How to find font in Indesign, which is in Windows Font Folder?

    Hi
    I need to use Monotype Sorts font.
    This font was not in the Indesign list of fonts.
    I bought the font and downloaded it to a file on my hard drive.
    It is called Monotype_sorts.ttf
    I then went to Windows Font Folder in Cpanel and installed it.
    I then followed advice I found on the web and copied the font to the Adobe/Indesign CS5/ Fonts folder.
    However I still can't see the font within Indesign in order to use it.
    Any help would be very much appreciated as I need to try and work this out very quickly.
    I'm on Windows Vista.
    Many thanks liz

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    ... I then went to Windows Font Folder in Cpanel and installed it.
    I then followed advice I found on the web and copied the font to the Adobe/Indesign CS5/ Fonts folder.
    That was some bad advice you got there. Indesign is fully able to use all of your installed fonts -- the ones in Windows. Only a very few specialized types of fonts that cannot be installed in Windows need to go into ID's "private" Fonts folder. (And another reason would be you want to keep your Windows system 'clean'.)
    The problem may very well be that InDesign now sees two versions of the same font, and refuses to let you select either, just to make things not too complicated. So delete the font in one of your locations.
    If that doesn't work either, read this thread on how to reset InDesign's internal font database:

  • Windows Mail - Thunderbird. Online help does not match program. How to Import?

    I'm attempting to follow the Thunderbird directions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_switching-from-windows-mail-or-windows-live-mail-to-thunderbird) online for Converting from Windows Mail (Not Live Mail) to Thunderbird. I'm at the Import Step. The instructions say:
    "In Thunderbird, go to Tools | ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory | Also from its subdirectories."
    Under Tools, there is an Import, but no ImportExport. When the Import option is chosen, it does not allow for a directory location, only what to import (Eveything, Mail, Contacts, etc.) When choosing "Import Everything" and pressing "Next" nothing is in the list to import. The "Next" button does nothing and the Cancel Button cancels the entire Import.
    Can someone explain (or point to a current and accurate article on) how to import all mail (with local mailboxes and file structures kept intact).
    Thanks.

    In the first paragraph of the section "Importing Windows Mail Messages", it states you must download and install the ImportExportTools add-on. Once installed, the relevant menu options will appear in TB.

  • How do I get iPhone photos to re-appear in "Import" window?  I had "Automatically Import" turned on in Aperture prefs.

    How do I get photos to re-appear in the "Import" window?  I had "Automatically Import" turned on in Aperture prefs.  Now I cannot see the photos in my import dialog that are still on my phone.  I normally import without Photostream into specific folders on a NAS drives and with specific folder and file-naming details.  I then have Aperature delete those photos as I import them.
    How do I "revert" to having Aperature "forget" that I accidentally had "Import Automatically" turned on?
    I tried deleting images from the PhotoStream import folder, closing Aperature, disconnecting phone, and then try to re-import.

    When I turned off "Ignore Duplicates" in the Import dialog, then the photos that have already been imported into the Photostream library but are still on my phone reappeared as available to import into another Aperture Library as well as the correct folder structure on my NAS drive.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.
