Adobe Illustrator/missing font

Expert: - 7/13/2009


Question
Hi Kevin. I designed a web header in illustrator CS4, but when I open it it says it cannot find the fonts I used (Neuropol, OCRAExtended) Both fonts now display an asterisk after its name in the character panel and are not selectable. I originally used illustrator CS4 for the design but it may have been on a different PC. Are the fonts part of an Adobe font library or are the fonts taken from the PC's sysyem files, as I can't figure out why they seem to have just become unavailable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer
Hi Chris,

It must have been on another computer and they are not installed on the current one. Neuropol is definitely not one of the Adobe or default system fonts. You may have to google to find out where this came from and if you can purchase another copy, or find out what computer has this font.

Thanks

Kevin
