Another Font Question

Post by shippman »

There is a font, Courier New Greek, that I can see and use from the drop-down list in VPro4. My question is: Where is it stored on the hard drive? I have search the entire drive and can't find it. I would like to use it in Illustrator, but it does not appear in the Windows/Fonts folder or Ilustrators drop-down list.

Any clues?

Thanx... Mike

Here's a clue
code page variants
Courier New Baltic, Courier New CE, Courier New Cyr, Courier New Greek, Courier New Tur are aliases created in the FontSubstitutes section of WIN.INI by Windows. These entries all point to the master font. When an alias font is specified, the font's character map contains different character set from the master font and the other alias fonts.


So I guess you have courier new. The Greek just loads different characters ie Euro not Dollar, if it is one of these you are after, it may be accessible through .Key Caps? or is it Character map in windows?

Just a clue..

Jim
