Font Not Available

Post by SlickT »

I'm using the registered and latest version of Main Type.

I have fonts with : font not available message. It's appearing in the character panel and the sample panel. The font name is greyed out in the library panel or it shows tiny font name with no preview.

It shows green dot by the font preview. I have a large number of fonts doing this.

I've tried to reinstall and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure what you mean by type 1 fonts.

One is Bearley Regular, Open Type TT, Version: 1.000, Foundry: Font Lab LTD. Made with FontLab

And various others with the name in their listings: Christmas Cookies, Creative Vibes, Campus Regular, and so on....

When I go to the Windows Font folder, they are listed and show installed.
