Simple, (haha), double-sided flyer, for want of a better term. Indy files from PC. Fixed bleed, (if there's one problem, there's several, as always).
Converted PC fonts with TransType...look OK. Activated in FEX Pro. Is not picking up the fonts as indicated in Screenshot. Have done full "Tools" in FEX, including restarts, of course. Using Find Font, cannot seem to pick up the ones seen in the FEX pane. I could get a PDF from the lady, don't think it will be a prob, but would value thoughts on this. Be better if they "worked"... :rolleyes:

The converted fonts, (hers), Indy wasn't looking for. Got a Gatling gun full of Helves Temp. loaded. Only ones not activating now are MedConObl (67), MedCon(67). A nasty mix, IMO. Am hoping for PDFs, but will hunt those 2 just in case.
Thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys.

OK, I'm missed the "Neue" on 3 of those...OK,OK.   :embarrassed:  So, font conversion is not bullet proof, 'specially with Helvetica.   :sad:

some things I do, remove fonts from fex, reload.
or replace fonts, do you have the helv nue fonts on your mac?
I dont usually have a problem replacing helv nue on the mac.

Clear you caches, delete all the temp fonts in Quark, (if you use it) and FontBook. That little bastard app has caused me MANY font issues. Go in there and disable all the fonts you can, let FEX handle them. Oh and restarting always helps.
