Graphic arts types and computer gurus, I need you. I have Adobe CS4, I have had CS2 and earlier incarnations and have also had various versions of CorelDraw and even ancient things like PageMaker and Ventura Publisher. From each I have always saved the fonts as I moved on to new software.

Most of the old fonts continued to work just fine, but in the past few days I have noticed an odd thing. Some fonts like Engraver’s Roman used to have upper and lower case, but lower has disappeared.

Many more fonts have suddenly changed from being the actual fonts but show up as broken bitmaps indicative of fonts promised but not yet developed.

What could be happening?
