Pagemaker (Adobe) - unable to use some fonts on Page maker


Expert: Glen Demers - 6/9/2009

Question
QUESTION: I am using windows on IBM platform. I have installed a font schneidler on my machine. This font works fine with corel 11, word and other softwares but it does not show itself in pagemaker 7.

can you help me

ANSWER: Hi Samant,

You don't say, but my guess is that Schneidler is an OpenType font with an .otf extension. These fonts won't work on PageMaker.
Contact the font vendor and see if a TrueType or Postscript version of the font is available.

Hope this helps,

QUESTION: The font type I am using is TTF. Please advice now.

Answer
Hi Samant,

As confusing as it seems, certain OpenType fonts have the .ttf extension. There are converters available on the web for converting OpenType to TrueType fonts. One such tool is here:
