I have Corel X-5 on one of my computers that uses XP- Pro and I have new computer that is using windows 7 which also has Corel X-5 on it.
I have certain fonts loaded on the Corel X-5 that is using XP and I want to move them to the new computer.
There are about 200 fonts and I was wondering the best way to move them into Corel X5 that is using Windows 7
Can I just copy them to a flash drive and then install on the new computer.
The reason I am using two computers with one monitor is one of my Roland Printers will work with windows 7 but the rip software will not work with Windows 7 because there are no Windows 7 drivers for it.
Instead of spending a few thousand dollars for new rip software it is easier to just use Windows XP and even thought it is a bit of a pain to keep switching back and forth from computers for now it works just fine.
Thanks Jim
You can copy them to/from a flash drive, over an internal network, etc.
But, do not just install them, as the more fonts you have 'installed' the slower Windows will run, after you reach some number (for Win 7, it is about 600-800 fonts, total), as Windows requires more internal resources to manage the 'installed' fonts.
Copy the older (WinXP) fonts to a directory other than C:\Windows\Fonts. Then fire up Bitstream Font Navigator (included with the Corel Graphics Suite) and scan your system for all the fonts. Then any time you need to install a font, from the Font Navigator, simply drag the font from the left sight to the right pane. To uninstall a font, just drag it back. This will help keep Windows from working to much for the few fonts that you are actively using.
