Ok, now that I have, with your help, installed Panther, I do not get my fonts. I have them in my Adobe Type Manager 4.6. Is this OK. How do I turn them on? I was also told I would no longer need a type manager that Panther could hold all my fonts , about 300, in its system folder. Is this true?
And while I got you, should I reinstall my applications to work a little smoother with Panther(Quark, PS, Freehand, Microsoft)?

When I upgraded from Jaguar to Panther, I did a reformat because I didn't want to be stuck with all the lil quirks that come with upgrading an operating system. I store my fonts in the /home/Dani/Library/Fonts folder. If you wish them to be available to all users, store them in the /Library/Fonts folder. Check the Applications folder as Panther comes with its own Font Manager. I think it's under Utilities.
