Danielito,

Illy is more particular about fonts than most. You may get away with using a faulty/low quality font in other applictions.

Which font?

Hello Jacob,

Thanks for answering my query.

Monotype Corsiva (Open type)is the font I want to use.

Curious. I have that font installed as well and it doesn't show up in Illy. It shows in Explorer with an Open Type icon even though it's a True Type font (mtcorsva.ttf) from 1998.

Check that; it doesn't show up with the M's. Look for it in the C's where Corsiva would be. It should be there.

font (mtcorsva.ttf) from 1998.




A couple of pertinent Wikipedia entries:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType>

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType>

Bottom line: Many Microsoft/Monotype fonts introduced after 1994 were sold/listed as TrueType fonts but, in fact, used 'TrueType Open' technology. Those will show up as OpenType fonts in the newest Windows operating systems.

I looked in mine (in Ill CS2) and couldn't find it, either, but for some
reason it's in the C's
Someone said this here.
The full name is there (starting with M) but it's still in the C's
It sure is pretty, I had it but hadn't noticed it so glad it was brought
to my attention.
I'm new to Illustrator (and have falling in love with it, it's like
magic!) so spending a lot of time learnig, or attempting to.
But, I have used Flash, and other programs, and tend to collect fonts.
Is that a font-a-holic? (LOL)
