I lost a bunch of fonts when I switched computers - an easy way to get back them?

It's a bit complicated, so I'll do the best I can.

Exactly 10 days ago, I bought a new laptop, the Acer Aspire.  It has replaced my seven-year-old Dell Inspiron.  After that a series of file transfers, I now InDesign files available from the hard drive of Acer.

So I opened one of my InDesign, a personal project files that resembles a program memory which would have awarded a fictional family in NC for a 'meeting '.  To create a editorials and "advertising", I used dozens of fonts that I could access it from the Dell printer.  These fonts included with the endings 'BT' and "BTN."

However - and to my horror - when I open this file on the Acer, "BT" and "BTN" fonts, as well as four other people, was missing!  TypeKit has been able to find the other four fonts and transfer them to my new version of Acer, but 'BT' and 'BTN' fonts are missing, and the dialog box wonder of having them a unique default font whenever I open the file.

I've isolated a part of the problem is that each computer has different fonts in their OS in-house.  There again, I don't know if Dell has installed the fonts 'BT' and 'BTN' can I access is no longer on the Acer.  I remember them introduced another way.  Some of them were like Adobe programs were installed. others may come from a program called Greeting Card Factory I have installed on the Dell computer.  (I would try this possibility now, but unfortunately I did not keep the CD I got with my purchase!) )

Also, I realize that I can go to third-party Web sites to install the missing fonts.  But with 20 fonts in total are listed in the missing fonts dialog box, need me forever - and perhaps a lot of money - to get all of them back at once.  Is there a website or a program that can allow me to download at least some of them at some point?

Also, if someone else has used the GCF and can remember which fonts it uses, I would appreciate that information.

Thank you and have a nice day.

BT fonts are of Bitstream and would usually found packaged with CorelDRAW.

If you have access to the old machine, look in the windows / folder fonts where you should find all your fonts. I also recommend a font manager well. I'm a fan of Suitcase Fusion who now has a feature that stores all your fonts to the cloud.

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    About file Corruption:

    Recovery tools:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • BlackBerry smartphones lost my contacts on the phone and cannot get back them.

    My phone has load the other night during a power failure and the morning my contacts and contacts BB disappeared.  These contacts are not lost, because it's my gmail contacts list - but I can't get back them on my phone.  I clicked all the buttons on the sync, but no luck.  I can't manually add a contact and not seeing him.  In the options of the contacts, it says I have 288 contacts associated with my gmail account, and when I manually add one, it goes up by another number.  But - I can't see them anywhere.

    Also, I deleted the email account and set up again ensuring the sync box, took out the battery and SIM card and put back and still nothing.  Advice anyone?

    You see if gmail is your default service for a list of contacts?

    Check the sections under

    If this is the case, then delete the account gmail from your device and set up in this way:

    Since the device, go to mobile.blackberry.com
    Scroll to connect and click Send.
    Click on join now to gmail.  See if the sync works now.

    Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
    everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
    try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
    like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

    If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
    back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
    (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
    Two other points/questions:

    1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
    approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
    work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

    2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
    photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
    the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

    Your photos and other files should still be there under C:\Users\Your user Name\

    Sounds like your account became corrupted or affected by malware?

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk

    I lost all my Muse Widgets in the library, how can I get back them?

    Wait, so you mean the real Widgets in the Widgets Panel?

    Not the library where you can store your own stuff (users also tend to call these widgets...)?

    Could you give the name of this widget that you have installed, which seems to have caused harm?

    I think the best solution is to go to the Adobe CC , this Panel application where you can manage all Adobe applications. Uninstall Museand re-install it.

    Firefox is a Web browser, it has nothing to do with your emails. You can go to a site that displays your emails (uch like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) and check your emails using firefox, but Firefox has nothing to do with them. so no, to recover the lost emails mozilla can't help.
