Question

ttc fonts being substituted

Hello there, I’m wondering if you can help me to explain to my client about using fonts that Adobe does not support any longer.

 
I had PTSans.ttc supplied to us on a file. I had to copy the indesign file and place it into another Indesign file for printing. When I placed the file the font that was PTSans.ttc
 
converted to Times Bold. I didn’t notice and the client did. I’m wondering why this would happen and I would not get any warnings.
 
I’ve attached screen shots of what happens. Please note that all of my adobe cloud is up to date.
 
I would really appreciate if you can please help us here.
 
 
Thank you
 
Pam

One problem with .ttc files: they're not supported on multiple platforms. They work on Mac OSX but don't work properly on computers running Windows.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
