I just changed from a PC to a MAC and upgraded to the creative cloud.  I have a lot of PC fonts that I would like to use with the creative suite.  Where do I install them? I cannot locate the path library/application support/adobe.

thanks for the help

You install them in your Fontbook utility - just like any other font on Mac.

Mylenium thank you for your reply.  THey are PC fonts that I cannot install with Fontbook.  I read that with CS4 and up you can still use the PC fonts in your creative suite if you install them to library/application support/adobe/fonts but that path does not exist with the creative cloud.  I do not want to repurchase all the fonts as it would cost way too much. I was able to copy the fonts to the the folder for fonts under InDesign and that works but only for InDesign.  Now I just need them for Photoshop and Illustrator. Any ideas?  thanks.

OSX has supported TrueType fonts forever, including the Windows "flavor" of TrueType, so that should work. If they are Type-1 PostScript fonts, you should have no problems, either, as long as the PFM and PFB files are in one place. Loading the fonts from the Adobe folders has been deprecated since CS5 and to my knowledge really only works in InDesign since all other apps no longer carry the routines for this. Anyway, perhaps you might, do a little checking and try a font managent tool like Suitcase. After all, my Mac knowledge is limited, being only with an older MacBook Pro that is a memento from a better time in my life...
