Fonts not displaying properly windows 7

I have had particular problems with Kaptiza, Bitstream and Adobe fonts, oh and not to mention Monotype. So that's ok, isn't it? The only suggestion I have had so far is to install a font manager, but I have never really understood those, and once had a bad experience in which I deleted all my system fonts by mistake, and couldn't get them back.

So if I can do something without having to have a third party application, I would prefer this. Also, it seems a bit much to have to buy a font company's font manager just to use their non-working font.

Seems so odd that there is no Windows fix for this. Anyone else have disappearing fonts? Many thanks for any help you can give. Ali PS incidentally, some fonts disappear completely after being installed. Others I can still see, but they have symbols in the preview, suggesting Windows can't see past encryption. But all commercial fonts are encrypted aren't they? Can't see what I can do about that. Re: Fonts not installing properly, and not sticking in Windows 7 64 bit Hi Ali, is your logon for Windows 7 an administrator account?

I'm not aware of any encrypted fonts either freeware, donationware, or commercial. Which type of fonts are you installing? Type1, truetype, or open type? Type1 fonts are a bit long in the tooth getting old so unless you have a specific need for a Type1 font skip them entirely. If you are installing a truetype and an opentype font that have the same name, only one will show in your font list not both. Best to install only one type of font, not both. If you use Xara3D any version, install truetype fonts because Xara3D doesn't "see" open type fonts.

If you are not using Xara3D then install an open type font if you have the choice between truetype and open type. Soquili a. Bill Taylor Bill is no longer with us.
