I'm not a computer expert, but I am curious, what kind of computer do you have? A Mac or a PC? If you have a PC, what is your operating system (Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP)?
Have you checked your font folder? Is it installed in your font folder?

John,
To fix my font problem, I needed to reinstall Adobe Type Manager. Then my font issue went away.
Hope this helps, good luck.

But if you have adobe type manager, do try to re-install it. I hate to think of you paying for a font you already have. Also, if you have Bitstream Font Navigator, try to look for it with that...type1 font files SOMETIMES have code word names and you would not be able to recognize them without a font-browsing program.
Also type1 fonts may end with file extensions .pfb or .afm. So try a search on your computer by entering *.pfb or *.afm...that might help you locate the font so you can re-install it.
Good luck (it's probably too late for you now.)

This is interesting. The same font also disappeared from my computer a while back. I have, over time, checked through all my old font CDs (probably more correctly, almost all since I haven’t yet found it) and cannot figure out what software it came from. One of my employees managed to load it from the laptop but it then got lost again in a crash and the laptop was rendered inoperative in an unfortunate plant watering incident.
I always thought it had to come from an early version of Corel but I haven’t encountered it there. I know it didn’t come from my “2000 Useless Badly Digitized Fonts” CD that I acquired as a door prize somewhere. If I ever find it, I’ll let you know where it was. Please do the same if you stumble across it. I haven’t really needed it lately but there have been a couple of times I would have liked to use it. I know as soon as I pay $29 to get it back, it will pop out of the woodwork.

haha...I could be wrong, but I think it comes packaged with certain adobe products like illustrator or photoshop or adobe type manager. You might find it on some old illustrator or photoshop installation discs.

I'll check my old Adobe Type Mangler discs. ATM hasn't been necessary since W2000. I didn't think of checking there.
