COMJAX Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 How do I find and either export or copy and move a specific text font, Univers, from one computer to another? This seems to be the best text to use when exporting to DWG but the font style is only on my version of VW. Quote Link to comment
Tom4 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 What is your OS? In windows you can get it from the font file. Quote Link to comment

COMJAX Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 OK I've found the font file in XP but I can't move/save it. wtf? Quote Link to comment
Tom4 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 When I go to the font file in Windows I can copy delete or what ever. I didn't think you could use a windows font in a Mac or visa versa. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 TrueType font technology is adapted by both MacOS and Windows. While Univers is a fairly common font, it doesn't ship as part of the Mac's system fonts. I'm unsure whether Windows will allow you to "export" a font from it's system files, but you can in Mac: you'd place a copy of the font in a separate folder or on the desktop and then copy to the other computer via network or some kind of storage device. Failing this, try Adobe's or ITC's website and buy a copy of the font. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
