Experience
After starting my design career using QuarkXPress and PageMaker for many years, the release of InDesign instantly caught my eye. Being one of the reasons for Adobe buying Aldus, I knew this would change the publishing world very quickly. I started using InDesign's first release and haven't looked back. I have dedicated my work and much of my spare time using InDesign to its fullest—and it's paid off. My workflow is quicker, my computer runs smoother, and my files print cleaner and without problem.

Adobe InDesign - Indesign-CS2

Expert: InDesign Pro - 10/30/2009

Question

A friend recently retired and gave me a copy of his CS2. Although I have no professional knowledge, training or interests this field, I have a great amateur enthusiasm for typefaces and taken on the challenge of teaching myself Indesign at the tender age of 66 (perhaps the first signs of insanity?).

So far, so good! My question is: Can Adobe fonts be made available to Fontbook in Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8? The reverse seems to work ok.
Good luck with your work.

Best Regards from Ireland

Answer
Hi Gearóid, thanks for the question.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking... but yes, Adobe fonts work excellent with Apple's Fontbook in Leopard.

If you're asking about a Windows based True Type font, you can use them with InDesign, however, there's a little trick involved. You must put the font files in the font folder found in the InDesign application folder.

Hope this helps! Welcome to the club!
