Problem
When I select font in Font Navigator, I get a message to insert the disk, or Font Navigator tells me the file is not available.

Solution

There are two possible reasons for this behavior.

• You used the Font Navigator Find Fonts command to search a drive or disk that is no longer attached to your machine. For example, you searched a CD-ROM for fonts and then removed the CD from the drive.
• Your Font Catalog is corrupt.

For each of the above reasons, the solution is the same.

1. Use Windows Explorer to find where most of your font files are stored.

• TrueType fonts have a TT icon or the file extension .TTF
• PostScript fonts have an A icon or the file extensions .PFB and .PFM

NOTE: If you used Font Navigator find fonts in a CD or other removable media, copy the font files to a permanent storage location on a hard disk or a network drive.

2. Once you know where most of your font files are stored, delete the Font Catalog and re-build it. When you use the Find Fonts Wizard to re-build the Font Catalog, search all the drives and folders where your fonts are stored.
