Different fonts / different computers / same project

Post by marchenland »

I have recently gotten help in the form of a new tech writer who is helping me with my workload, so I've gone from being a sole writer / Flare user to having someone else in my project. (We are using source control and it seems to be going okay so far.)

My company uses proprietary branded fonts, which we have installed on his system.

Using the same stylesheet and files on our respective computers, when we build the same target, we get different fonts in our outputs.

Digging in a bit, I noticed that when we each open the stylesheet and click on Manage Font Family, I see a whole list of my company's proprietary font (italic, symbol, bolds, etc.) while he only sees one, despite the fact that we definitely have installed the full set on his system.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks,
Madelyn

I can think of a couple of things to check.

1. Can he print with those fonts outside of Flare?

2. Can you use the fonts in a new style sheet in a test project?

Certifiable.
