Be very careful with Frutiger - there are a lot of incompatible versions around. Monotype Frutiger, for example, uses different internal names to Linotype Frutiger. My search suggests that 'Frutiger 75 Black' is exclusively a Linotype variant: http://www.linotype.com/12826/frutiger75black-font.html It is also available from Monotype: http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=201534gclid=CJOmtfGrzosCFTwHQgodnSIVHA I could find no specific 'Frutiger Black'. -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Re: Another missing fonts question
If you inherited legacy corporate documentation, I'd bet that EMC owns the fonts already, but they just weren't installed on your system, probably because the people who set up systems don't think of fonts as part of a writer's workstation. I'd start checking with IT and other departments to find out where they are Also, remember that the internal font names are what you're trying to match. As others have pointed out, Linotype or a reseller is your only option to exactly match the originals...
