Here is my question…
Just purchased a new Intel 24" iMac. Deactivated my CS2 from my old G4 tower and put that license on the new computer. I also run CS2 on a 17" Powerbook G4.
I ‘trade’ PS files back and forth between computers. When I opened a file on the new computer (with text layers) I got the message that some of the text layers had to be ‘upgraded’ (don’t know if that is the right word… meaning the new computer could not find the font used on certain text layers).
Where is PS finding the fonts to use? Not sure if PS has it’s own fonts that comes off the install disk (am thinking not…) OR if PS is pulling fonts from the fonts loaded on my computer.
I use the ‘Font Book’ (running OS 10.4.8 on both computers) to manage my fonts. On the laptop I have 171 fonts installed (according to the Font Book app) and on the iMac I have 189 installed.
Is there a method of ‘syncing’ fonts between the two computers? In addition to running PS I also use InDesign CS. Hope that I don’t have problems with fonts in that app as well.
