FONT in QUARK

[compiob]

Hi there,
I'm a InDesign user. I've always download Open Type font from web and use them for my designs.
I need to do a project with QUARK by yesterday (!?) and I can't work with my fonts. The letters are with a huge space one after another, the text is completely corrupted.
Any tips? Any chance to use my lovely collection of fonts?
Otherwise where can I find compatible font?

pleaseeeeeee
help meeeeeee
it's SO IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

DUSTISMO was called.
By the way I need to solve the problem...apparently my friend converted my fonts from Pc format to Mac, but:

- this software converter runs only on pc!?

- still not all are compatible

DO YOU KNOW THE SOLUTION?

 

[MarcusStringer]

Convert PC fonts to Mac font, does hold some risk... although that program does do a good job when in a pickle... don't rely on it

I downloaded the font you told me and it works fine.

Your on a Mac right?

What font management program do you use?

I used suitcase and it worked without a problem

I USE FONT BOOK AND LINOTYPE

:-(

copy the fonts into your
Users/username/library/fonts.

Restart Quark and see if that fixes it

Marcus is correct. OSX supports windows ttf fonts. Just make sure it's in the right folder and that you maintain the .ttf extension. Just stick it in hard drive/library/fonts as Marcus suggested.

If you use fontbook, make sure that the font is activated.
