Calibri, Bell MT, Cooper Black - fonts disappeared after CS4 reinstall

[Joanne_H]

I had these fonts before my hard drive crashed and I had a new one installed. Then I had to reinstall CS4. I opened an InD file afterward, and the document is missing the three fonts listed in the subject head. I've searched my computer seven different ways 'til Sunday -- nothing. Any ideas? I have an iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8.

are those fonts installed?

do they appear in other apps?

[Joanne_H]

No, they do not show up as installed in FontBook and they do not show up in Word.

[kglad]

then they are not installed.

install your fonts and then open an app to confirm they are properly installed.

I get that they are not installed. The thing is I have no clue where they are. CS4 was an online purchased/download. When I reinstalled from Adobe's website recently, I also downloaded the "extra" components that included fonts etc., but the fonts above are still nowhere to be found. I don't remember how I got them on my system, but I don't understand how they can disappear and not be found even on my backup hard drive when I've been using them all along. Sigh.

I can re-purchase but that seems like such a waste. If it comes down to that, could anyone recommend an economical way?

if you purchased cs4/extras from adobe, you should still be able to download them from adobe by logging into your account and checking 'my orders', https://www.adobe.com/account.html

if you purchased them elsewhere and don't have the downloaded fonts, you have to repurchase/reacquire them. use google to search.
