Fonts -- VERY DESPERATE!

Finalized a catalog at home in CT -- client has urgent beyond-final-minute
changes and I'm in FL so I asked my son to FedEx down a disk that has
everything on it, including fonts. TrueType fonts are no problem. But trying
to install PostScript fonts I'm getting one of two error messages:

1. "Unable to install the font. File <FONT> is either invalid or damaged."
OR
2. "The copyright holder of <FONT> will not allow their font to be converted
to TrueType. Please contact the font vendor for more information."

I've never had this happen doing this catalog before and share the fonts
with the printer all the time to mass print.

If I can't figure out what the problem is in the next hour or two I have to
fly home tomorrow from this beautiful Sarasota to the Northeast and I'm
begging for help!!!

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Have you tried going on Google and typing in a phrase like "can't install
postscript fonts" ? ISnt postscript an Adobe font anyways?. Enjoy Sarasota,
I miss it , I moved to the NE and hate it.

Hello judie

I've only just seen your post -- hope it's not too late for you!

Have you ever used ATM, particularly version 4.0, on the problem
machine? This seems to be a problem caused by it changing a registry
entry.

Details and a fix available from Adobe here:

Hope this helps :-). Let us know how it goes.
