fonts not working

I have had trouble with a font that i have been trying to use, I have access to both X3 and X4 and for some reason the problem is reversed depending on which I am using. In Corel X3 it will allow me to use only the bold and italic version of the font, it is aware that the normal roman exists but when used it wont show up in the document whilst in X4 it will only let me use the standard roman version with no bold or italic available at all.

 

the particular font has its roman version as a .PFB and .PFM type 1 font whilst the italics and bold version is a true type font. 

 

I have tried copying and pasting them directly into the fonts folder and using bitstream navigator where the preview is normal, 

 

anyone have any ideas, thanks in advance

  • "the particular font has its roman version as a .PFB and .PFM type 1 font whilst the italics and bold version is a true type font"

    In that case, you do not really have "the" particular font, you have two conflicting fonts.

    Windows cannot (or at least, does not, in my experience) cope with this. It can mix truetype and type 1 when they are completely separate fonts, but is confused if it sees what appears to be two different versions of the same font family.

    You can imagine this as the two versions of the font "fighting" each other internally ... is that dualling or duelling ?  But it is a "battle" that neither font will win conclusively and, as you've found, the results can be somewhat unpredictable.

    I think you need to eradicate both versions of those fonts, and find one font which has all four variants.
