Installing Font Folio 9

I have nowhere to turn to... this may be a most relevant forum I can find on adobe.com.
How can I install all the fonts simultaneously? I have to go into each fold and add fonts from the ATM Deluxe 4.1. Would take me hours to click thru each folder.
What to do? Help!
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
I don't think there really is an easy way to do this. Certainly it's not a feature of Font Folio.
As a work-around, I'm wondering if you might pop in the CD, then use Windows' Search to search the CD for *.pfm and *.pfb, this would eventually list all the .pfm and .pfb files in the search window, where you could then select them all and copy them into a new folder on your desktop (or elsewhere). Once you'd done that, you could then go into ATM and browse to that desktop folder to install everything in one fell swoop.
Option 2 would be to simply install individual font families from the CD as you want/need them. Font Folio has a lot of fonts, you certainly wouldn't want them all active in any case--if only for the sheer annoyance of picking the font you want from a never-ending list.

  • How can I install my type 1 Adobe Font Folio (circa 2002) onto my Windows 7 PC?

    I recently had to move to a PC running windows 7, I'm unable to install any fonts. I'm not using any font management software because I only need to use a handful of typefaces. The individual folders on the disk (old - 2002ish) don't have extensions. They're separated into 2 files; i.e. "AGarBol"  0KB and "._AGarBol" 56KB the PC doesn't recognize either of them. I've tried adding a .pfb / .pfm extension on both, it starts to install the .pfm file but errors out. HELP!

    There is no exact 1:1 conversion of the MacOS versions to the Windows Type 1 equivalent fonts. Different font metric information is used in the different formats. Conversion to TrueType would be lossy. You also have the problem that the MacOS Type 1 fonts were stored in the file's “resource fork” for which there is no equivalent on Windows (or any other OS) - you would end up with file of zero bytes in length if you did a simple copy.
    Unfortunately, you didn't back up the full CD to an ISO image. Otherwise, you could restore or even mount the image and get the Windows versions of the fonts.
    If you purchased the Font Folio directly from Adobe, perhaps you could get some assistance in either replacing the CD or getting a low cost upgrade to a newer version of Font Folio which provides fully cross platform compatible OpenType CFF fonts. You didn't indicate which software you are planning to use under Windows, but the newest Microsoft applications and some other simply don't support Type 1 fonts anymore. But they do support OpenType CFF fonts found on the newer versions of Font Folio.
    I recommend contacting Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) by phone to see whether they can assist you.

  • Font Folio 11 - How to install/manage?

    I just bought Font Folio 11 (gulp!)  So now what do I do?
    I don't want to drag/drop 3000 fonts onto my system and boggle it down.  I guess I was under the assumption that for $2500 it came with at least a basic viewer/manager, but no.
    I got a trial of Suitcase Fusion, but I can only seem to install one font at a time.
    Help, please!

    There is no installer or uninstaller for Font Folio. It is simply a disk full of fonts. Since there are so many ways in which various users may wish to install and/or manage fonts, it simply didn't make sense for Adobe to try imposing any one such manner on everyone. Plus, virtually no one in their right mind would attempt to install all fonts at one time.
    Installation of fonts is normally quite simple, but varies from operating system to operating system and version to version. Drag and drop OpenType font files works in most situations where you want a copy of a font installed in a known, system font location. Windows 7 allows right clicking one or more OpenType or TrueType font files with context menu items that allow for installation or installation via links. (Note that you wouldn't normally install via a link to a CD or DVD given that you wouldn't normally have such an optical media mounted at all times. And of course, if you are using any font manager, such software typically provides its own mechanism for font installation, activation, deactivation, etc.

  • Lion, Font Book & Adobe Font Folio

    Howdy All,
    I have a brand new Mac mini with Lion installed (of course) and I'm having a bear of a time loading the Adobe Font Folio. In general, I'm having a really hard time with Font Book on other Lion, late vintage, machines. I've tried every counter measure in my bag of tricks: boot in safe mode, Onyx cleaning, new user accounts, deleting plists, etc. At first I ignored the Font Book warnings, then I've heeded every one and not loaded the fonts. On my latest attempt, with a new user account account I have 444 fonts loaded, with the vast majority turned off, but Font Book hangs. I suppose I can always flatten the machine and start from scratch, but I'm just wondering if someone has an insight into the Lion/Font Book situation that I don't have. For the record, I have about 600 fonts running on about 30 Snow Leopard machines without any drama.
    Thanks in advance for ideas.

    Same here. My thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15995212#15995212
    I've had no replies. Have you looked at Activity Monitor while this is happening? check it out. I think i'm just going to go back to Leopard, don't know what else to do. Do you have an SSD in there?

  • Font Folio

    Anyone out there.  Hey guys my name is Dave Goldschmidt, my wife and I work for a non profit and we help a lot of churches
    design graphics, websites, videos etc.
    I was wondering if there was anyone out there that would be willing to let us use one of their 5 Font Folio licenses to continue helping out other local charities and churches.  We dont make any money on any of our work and we can show you the stuff we've produced.
    If there is anyone out there that can please help that would be greatly appreciated.

  • Create Font Folio Scritpt?

    Hi!
    Is there a way to create Font Folio in Indesign CS5 by Script - (Win 7)?

  • Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

    Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

    The Adobe Font Folio has absolutely nothing to do with the Adobe Creative Cloud offering. I think you are thinking about TypeKit which is included with the Adobe Creative cloud, integrates with the Creative Cloud applications, but also allows use of the fonts therein with other applications.
    The Adobe Font Folio is a disk with pretty much the entire Adobe Type Library. You install any number of fonts on the disk onto your system and they act just like any other fonts with any applications, including the CS6 applications.

  • Font Folio licences

    Hi,
    I am looking for informations about differences between Font Folio 9, 10 and 11. Is it only technical differences (more fonts and OT format)?
    I work in the IT team of a press group and I have been told that we needed to upgrade Font Folio each time we upgrade our OS (eg: from OS 10.6.x to 10.7.x, and so on).
    Is this information true?
    Thanks

    There are absolutely no operating system version dependencies in Adobe Font Folio or in the individual fonts themselves.
    What is true is that native operating system support for the older Type 1 font format is waning, although Adobe applications will continue to support Type 1 fonts in the applications' own private directories for the indefinite future. This issue of non-support of Type 1 fonts is becoming more accute with Microsoft's “Metro” interface (Windows 8) and WPF/XAML-based programs. Other Windows programs including Visio and FileMaker also ignore any installed Type 1 fonts.
    Font Folio 10, 11, and 11.1 add additional OpenType fonts plus compatible updates to existing OpenType fonts. Also, there are now licensing options for 5 and 10 users in addition to 20 users.
    Note that Font Folio doesn't have any “installer” to deal with. One simply uses the standard font installation capabilities to install fonts on Font Folio's DVD.

  • Font Folio Licenses

    Hi.
    I have a client who is interested in purchasing 6 licenses to Adobe Font Folio (FF) 11.1 for Mac. I know about the $2,999 5-pack. I have the following questions regarding FF licensees.
    · If I purchase the $2,999 5-pack can I purchase a single license? If so, what would I purchase?
    · I noticed that I can purchase a single license from CDW (TLP) for $469.99 and a (CLP) $443.99. What is the difference?. Which one would you recommend I buy?
    · If I can purchase 5 single licenses for less than the 5-pack why wouldn't I purchase 5 single licenses?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Font Folio installation

    I have purchased Adobe Font Folio v 11.1. I went to the Adobe licensing site and downloaded the software but i do not see an install file and need help to determine what is needed to install this software.

  • Font Folio on InDesign

    I have had Adobe CS6 for 2 years now. I use indd. pretty rugularly, so I just downloaded Font Folio 11.1 to have a better array of fonts. Is it at all possible to load the fonts from Font Folio directly to indd? If so, what is the most correct and best way to do so? Thanks.

    You can either install the font folio which would load the fonts in the system hence making it accessible to all applications including InDesign. Or In case you wish to just have it available to InDesign then there is a way, you can locate the "fonts" folder InDesign installation directory, i.e. on windows it should be under C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6 or C:\Program Files \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6 depending weather your system is 64 bit or 32 bit. On Mac it should be under Applications/InDesign/Fonts
    Any font placed in the above directory will only be available to InDesign, Specifically to the version of InDesign that you copied the fonts over too.
    Hope this helps!!

    I have purchased a 'adobe font folio 11'.

    These machines in themselves are usually pretty good, with the occasional aberration. Let's hope you do not have a rogue.
    Looking at the problems there seem to me (as a guess) two problems: incomplete processes and memory. The two may be related. The camera problem I would dismiss as simply that -- batteries run out and the Mac is trying to complete an impossible process: expecting data, data never arrives.
    The Firefox problem may be something external: a badly coded page; something the browser (or Mac) was not equipped to handle (a plug-in for example) and this could put a strain on RAM.
    Maya, I am not familiar with, but it is (if I remember rightly) graphics-oriented and that can be memory intensive).
    Which all comes down to the RAM you bought. Without knowing what it is or where it came from, or your experience in installing it, that in itself could be a problem. You need to make sure that it is properly seated for one thing, that it is the correct type (although the information here suggests that you are on the right track) and that it is OK.
    You might also want to think about posting a crash log here (find these in Console) as someone -- not me -- might be able to pinpoint a cause.

    PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4.  How do I get my old fonts back?  Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts.  Dell Precision, Windows 7.  Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own?  If so, where are they in the directory?  A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program.  Please help.  If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them?  Thanks.

    All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS.  Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.

  • What's new in Font Folio 11.1?

    Looks like Font Folio 11.1 released today, per http://adobe.com/products/fontfolio.
    Can anyone tell us what is new in the past 5 years? I had hoped for some better glyph coverage in fonts like Utopia, but I don't see any evidence of that in the documentation, but I'm still hopeful?
    The list of 80 additional fonts does not seem all that exciting for Western users, but perhaps much more so for users of other Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, etc.
    Comparing the PDF font listings, here's what the new faces are:

    So can I assume FF11.1 will have Utopia 2.097? I can't really see anything in the above that looks like a user-visible change of significance...
    On the other hand, FF11.1 upgrades seem to be extremely reasonably priced.  List price of the upgrade is $29.95/seat (20-pack), so really that's chump-change. So I suppose I can't really go wrong. But it's hard to get excited about, especially when I already have Adobe Text and Hypatia Pro from giveaway incentives (though I guess having them in FF clarifies some potentially thorny licensing questions...)
    Thanks!

    Err, so I thought this would be an easy question...not so?

  • Please help! Installed fonts just stopped showing up in CS4 MAC, how do i get them back?

    Hi there,
    I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
    still on Adobe CS4, i initially had problems getting CS4 to see my installed fonts when upgraded to Snow Lepoard, googled the problem, tried several different things for hours - something worked not sure what exactly but CS4 started seeing all of my installed fonts.
    Now all of a sudden, they are not showing up again, i have not downloaded anything, installed anything, moved anything - were all there and working last week, and then this week they are not.
    I have 1060 fonts installed - work for an agency with hundreds of different clients so need a lot of fonts. Am not using any font manager - just fontbook, is that the issue? all 1060 fonts are showing up as installed in Fontbook....
    I have some fonts in HD>library>fonts, and also fonts in user>library>fonts, could this be the issue? is it best to have them in just one place? if so which folder is best to have all fonts in?
    I know indesign has its own font folder - which is now where it seems to be reading fonts from, and illustrator is reading its fonts from somewhere else - only about 30-40 are showing up there, system fonts folder i'm guessing?
    How can i get indesign and illustrator to read fonts from my actual font libraries?
    any help is much appreciated! Our graphic design team of 2 are the only ones on macs so all our IT support guys are PC based and never know anything on how to fix mac issues so i'm on my own with this issue!
    Thanks
    Mel

    If you are managing fonts with font book, then all should be well. Something else is going on. Try installing Onyx and use that to delete all your caches including your font cache. You willl need to restart your computer after clearing your caches.
