Actually, font storage isn't that different in OSX than it was under OS9. The main difference is in where you put the fonts. There are three places to put them, which one to use is up to how you want them accessed.
The first location is (I'll use my HD Shimi as a reference point, fill in your own drive): Shimi/Library/Fonts Anything you put here is accessable to all user accounts and apps. The second is: Shimi/Users/<yourusername>/Library/Fonts Any that you store here can only be accessed by that user and the apps that are run under it. No other users or apps run by other users can get to them. The third is for reference only. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU MODIFY IT: Shimi/System/Library/Fonts This is for Apple supplied fonts and is placed there by the installer. Don't use it. Like I said, a little different, but not hard and still similar to how OS9 was. ~Rob > I still haven't dug deep inside OS X so I know very little > about font storage, but I am aware that it works differently > to OS 9 in the apps can store fonts where they like. > > I believe I have a problem as I create things in Freehand > but when I go to open them in something else like > Illustrator, some fonts are not accessible, which leads me > to believe that Freehand has access to the fonts (Helvetica) > but not any other apps. > > What's the best way to avoid this problem ? > > > Larry -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
