    Adobe Post script Fonts CS3 Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop

    Vista will not let me install fonts I have had for YEARS. These are Type 1
    font files, with a .PFB and .INF extention (3 files make up the font)

    I upgraded from XP Prof to Vista Business. They installed fine on XP Pro. I
    must be able to use these fonts.

    Does anyone have a solution or a converter? I hope Microsoft will fix this
    problem...soon. Please I am sure I am not the only one stuck with this HUGE
    problem.

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Vista has dropped support for Type 1 fonts in the Windows Presentation
    Foundation graphical subsystem, but they still work through GDI but not
    GDI+.

    No, I don't understand what that means either, but all my work fonts are
    OpenType now anyway.

    The masters should work. We've installed our T1's using ATM, but as
    Adobe said over a yr ago, T1's are history.

    Hi, I'sorry, but I didn't understand. Can you write me, if it is
    possible to use Type1 fonts in combination of InDesign CS3, Photoshop
    CS3 and Vista x64? In Flash CS3 the fonts work well.
    Thank you!

    Hi kokridlo,

    I have old fonts, from 10 years ago that I purchased and that came with
    previous Adobe products. The have the extensions .PFB and .INF. (do a search
    and you will see what type of files these are)

    What I would like to know is: Is there a way to convert these older fonts to
    a Type 1 or Open Type font, so I can use them on Vista.
