I'm a home user, not in any way professionally involved in typography (though as it happens, I've long been interested in typography and the arts of the book).

Occasionally I find myself preparing posters for various charitable events, and find it useful to make use of a shaded caps font.  My first choice for this was Gill Sans Shadow - appropriate as I live in the city where Gill's hand-painted precursor to Gill Sans first saw the light of day in the '30s - but some time ago I came across a nice Macromedia Fontographer shaded font, ApexShadowsSCapsSSK, on a free fonts site and downloaded that.  Unfortunately the file proved to be corrupted and several characters are not rendered properly; this is a shame, as the font has a very good three-dimensional feel to it.

As Macromedia is now part of the Adobe empire, I tried to find our from Adobe how I could obtain a perfect copy of the font, but this has been less than straightforward, not to put too fine a point on it!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm not sure why you call it a "Macromedia Fontographer font". Is it because you see "Macromedia Fontographer" mentioned in the font's info?

    Fontographer is a font editor application. It was never in Adobe's product portfolio, and is now property of FontLab Ltd.

    As far as I know that font was not part of Fontographer's package. It seems more likely that the font your're looking for was produced/edited with Fontographer.
