I have very few PS fonts now? Did I do something wrong on the PS 5.5 re-install? 2. I was developing a site and used the font "gothic copperplate light" in some areas. Now, when I vie the site, it's in "Times" (<--my second choice in my style sheet). Is there some way to get this back? It worked fine before the fiasco. Anyone know what's wrong here?

I didn't get back to you right away to thank you because of the problems I was having---I truly meant no disrespect---and I again thank you for your help!!)

Check your font folder: START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>FONTS and check all the type of fonts installed in your hard drive. PS will grab all the font from that FONTS folder, if I'm not mistaken. You can add the fonts if you like.. 2. If you're developing a site, use only the basic font, like Arial, Verdana, Times, etc.. if the font that you use is not installed in the "viewers" hard drive, the browser will use the basic font set for the browser, that is Times... so get back to the basic fonts... 3. I hope that would help a bit... that's not a stupid questions, btw. R i C K

I havent used ME before, but I am presuming it still has a Windows Font folder?.. if it has.. have you checked to see if the font you want ("gothic copperplate light") is installed there?.. maybe that font is not supplied as part of ME?... if its not in the windows font folder, that is why your browser can't find it and use it, thus defaulting to your second font choice!
