</head><body><p>Forgive me Jo. I have just got my brain in gear;<br></p><p>Can you look in C Windows / Fonts - see if Trajan Pro is still actuall installed.<br></p><p>Can you look in Openoffice in the fonts;<br></p><p>The top part of that list shows "Recently used" fonts - if you have recently used Trajan Pro; that is why it is showing in the top part of the fonts list.<br></p><p>The bottom part of that list shows the A-Z list of the available fonts on the machine; see if Trajan Pro is listed in this part of the fonts list.<br></p><p>My guess is that it is only in the Recently used list and not in the available list below.<br></p><p>If that is the case then you have windows 10 and the recent update has deleted the font.<br></p><p>You then need to find a friend still running windows 7 and get them to copy Trajan Pro out of their Windows / Fonts folder and email it to you.<br></p><p>There are two faces in the font as you probably know; you will need them to copy out both of them and send them.<br></p><p>Double click on the font file; say install and you should be back in business for now.<br></p><p>- what happens when Microsoft check up on the fonts folder I don't know.<br></p><p>So two things; </p><p>1: create a folder for "Jobs Fonts" - and copy and paste together all the fonts you use in your various artwork jobs. It's a pain; but it is something I have learned (like this) the hard way.<br></p><p>2: open your most critical artwork and create a copy with the text converted to curves. (For heavens' sake keep the original too with revision numbers) </p><p>It means you can no longer edit that text in the converted version. But it saves you the howling grief of a client wanting to reprint a bit of artwork from 4 years ago and you cannot get the original text file open to print it.<br></p><p><br></p><p>But start building up that "Job Fonts" folder. It saves tons of grief when moving files around between different machines and new versions of windows.<br></p><p>It is amazing how many fonts I have seen rolled back over the years.<br></p><p>I still have an old - 17 year old - copy of Coral Draw CD that I still keep only for the folders full of fonts on it.</p><p>But don't be surprised if, very soon, Windows reports an unlicensed copy of Trajan Pro on your machine as a result of copying it back from a Windows 7 machine. Then you will have to trudge along to a font shop - I use fonts.com - and cough up the money.<br></p><p>Not a great start to the day but that is about as gentle as I can break the news. It's gone. Patch it quick and keep your credit card handy.<br></p><p>Steven<br></p><p> <br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><blockquote type="cite"><p>On 22 April 2017 at 00:42 Jo Evans <jo.hose.evans@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br><br>On 22 April 2017 at 11:03, STEVEN WALKER <steven.dfirst@virgin.net> wrote:<br><br>> The "file explorer does not show Fonts directory" might be a "show hidden<br>> system<br>> folders" thing in Windows.<br>><br>> No, its the file explorer window that Scribus opens which does not show<br>C:\Windows\Fonts.
