Vista - Adobe Post script Fonts CS3 Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop

06-21-2008

Vista will not let me install fonts I have had for YEARS. These are Type 1
font files, with a .PFB and .INF extention (3 files make up the font)

I upgraded from XP Prof to Vista Business. They installed fine on XP Pro. I
must be able to use these fonts.

Does anyone have a solution or a converter? I hope Microsoft will fix this
problem...soon. Please I am sure I am not the only one stuck with this HUGE
problem.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Vista has dropped support for Type 1 fonts in the Windows Presentation
Foundation graphical subsystem, but they still work through GDI but not
GDI+.

No, I don't understand what that means either, but all my work fonts are
OpenType now anyway.

Hi, I'sorry, but I didn't understand. Can you write me, if it is possible to use Type1 fonts in combination of InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3 and Vista x64? In Flash CS3 the fonts work well.
Thank you!

Hi kokridlo,

I have old fonts, from 10 years ago that I purchased and that came with
previous Adobe products. The have the extensions .PFB and .INF. (do a search
and you will see what type of files these are)

What I would like to know is: Is there a way to convert these older fonts to
a Type 1 or Open Type font, so I can use them on Vista.

Thank you
