On our Mac workstations, InDesign projects are stored with all relative image files (including PSDs) as well as fonts used for each project.
Copying all of the above to a PC workstation and opening the .indd file yields, of course, missing font problems (it won’t even preview the missing font shape – it’ll flat out substitute it with another). I’m assuming the behavior will be the same in Illustrator and Photoshop.
So the natural question is… is there a way to convert the Mac fonts to PC fonts? I don’t even mind if it’s just a "virtual" conversion/install, that’ll last only as long as the file is open (that would be great actually). There’s got to be SOME advantage to having the Mac font itself bundled with the project, doesn’t there?
Or am I stuck having to hunt down the PC versions of these fonts on the web on an individual basis? What are my options here?
Thanks.
