Re: Font codes? Re: Missing fonts

I really don't know any details on "codes," this is what a
tech at Adobe told me about why our FM kept giving us
missing font messages when we opened files that were
made on other users' systems.  It turned out that the
fonts on some users' systems were being identified
differently from same-named fonts on other users'
systems because their id had been hijacked by fonts
with completely different names.  I presumed that he
was referring to some bit of hex conde in the fonts
that distinguished versions of fonts by different makers.
But once we had some guidance on how to make it
work right again I lost interest in finding out more.
