Hi James,

One of two thing have happened. Linotype can move your fonts into a consolidated fonts folder (you have to tell it to) and you will need to move these back to your system fonts folder. The other issue that may be happening is that you have too many fonts loaded in your system folder and it can't handle it.

Look for your fonts folder and move those fonts back into your system font folder.

Thanks

Kevin
