Re: Need a single font

["Kathleen MacDowell" <kathleen -at- writefortheuser -dot- com>]

I'd like to add a cautionary note about XP, Adobe Acro Pro and CS3,
and installing fonts. We had to install an odd font to print some
external documents. The installation went fine, and the Word file used
the font fine. But for some reason, it wasn't being picked up by
Adobe. I forget how I resolved it, I think I had to make sure the font
was installed in a particular directory. So you might install the font
in a common directory, if there is one.

Regards,

Kathleen
