Kelly, FYI
I found WoodtypeOrnamentsStd.otf hiding in Application Support>Adobe. Being interested in your problem and a bit of a font freak, I installed it. It's an OpenType font created by MS & Adobe, and it's supposed to work with either Windows or Mac. But it didn't.
It seemed to install properly as a system font. I tried it in various word processors, but I only got the box/cross & blob result mentioned by Kelly. I then tried it in InDesign CS2, the Adobe program most likely to use it, but no. Same negative result.
Also, it never showed any ornaments other than an ampersand it Font Pilot & PopChar. Peculiar.
Don't know what to make of it. Vlad James On 16, May 2006, at 5:04, Kelly Duffy wrote:
I'm still having some trouble with my Windows created InDesign documents on my Mac. I have Woodtype Ornaments 1 (I believe it's Adobe Woodtype Ornaments 1) and I can't get it to work on the Mac. I've used TTConverter but I can't find the actual font I need in the copy I made of the Windows font folder. Either it's not a TTF or it's not showing up in the folder. TTConverter has worked for all my other fonts, just not this one. I've tried putting a Mac version of the font on my computer, someone sent them to me, but version 1 didn't work, my computer didn't even recognise it, and the other Woodtype Ornaments font doesn't work, I just get a box with a cross through it, and if I change the character to anything else I just get a filled circle. I'm running OS10.3.5 on a G4 tower, and Adobe CS Premium. I'd buy the font again for Mac if I was sure it would work, but seeing as the Mac versions I've tried haven't worked I'm a bit reluctant to. If anybody has any ideas, or can send me the font to trial, or knows of a programme that can convert Windows fonts with the .fon extension to work on a Mac I'd really appreciate it. Kind regards, Kelly
