Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with the way that the Franklin Gothic font is recognised and how it works on 10.5.x and programs such as InDesign CS3 5.0.2 and Universal Type Server/Client 1.0.
- The Franklin Gothic font installed by Office in the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft folder is reported by the OS and by Office as a Windows TT font. InDesign and Universal Type Server recognise the font as Open Type TT. I'm not sure why this is the case but it brings me to a conflict I found
- The Franklin Gothic font installed by Office causes an issue with an existing font I use. ITC Franklin Gothic (Adobe foundry version). It causes the 'Book' typeface to become unavailable in InDesign. When removing the Microsoft version, it resolves the issue. However both fonts are seen by a Mac OS X program like TextEdit, without conflicts.
- It seems the microsoft version is actually of the ITC foundry, but it isn't called ITC by name. ITC Franklin Gothic has variants by Linotype and Adobe foundries.
The only solution I can see at the moment is removing the version installed by Office 2008 to resolve issues with the ITC Franklin Gothic i use. I've actually purchased a Linotype version, a newer Adobe version, and my existing old Adobe version, and they're all conflicting with the Office installed version.
If I remove the Office installed version, will this cause any issues with any Office 2008 apps?
Fonts aren't usually my area, so hopefully i've provided enough of the right information. Would appreciate any help on this matter.
