Moved to New Computer- Fonts folder not linked

Post by ConnieR. »

I recently moved to a new computer. I made a backup on my old computer, and restored the backup on my new computer, so I was able to keep all my sorted groups. However, while all my fonts ARE showing on the new computer, my FONTS folder where I physically have all my fonts stored, is somehow not linked, so it's showing 0 fonts. How do I relink it, so I can keep Maintype up to date when I add new fonts? Also, is it possible to turn back on the fonts I had activated on my old computer?
Here's the old one:

Try looking in Font Folders (Ctrl+L) from the Library menu, and refreshing the font folders.

Also make sure the Index Recursively checkbox is enabled.

Thank you. I had to manually point it to the new location, and then if found relinked the Font Folder.
