Will Groups Convert from My Fonts 5.2 to Main Type

Post by CapeCodBob »

I am a looong time user of MyFonts. which I dearly love.

I tried to install My Fonts on my new Vista (yuk) system and get error message, "Failed to set data for 'Id.'" I copied the license file over to the new system.

Is there a way to make My Fonts work?

Will my font groups on MY Fonts work in Main Type? The idea of re-categorizing all 800 fonts is making me ill.

Yes, they were put into a dozen or so FontPacks. Will copying them over to Main Type work?

Good news on the discount :)
