How do I install the fonts from older versions of CS to new computer?

I just deactivated and reinstalled CS4 onto a new computer. The majority of the fonts on the old computer did not install. Do I have to copy them individually from the old computer to the new or would it be better to deactivate the previous versions and install on new computer? Will there be issues with Windows 7?

Depends on the fonts we have included many of the same fonts with each copy of the Creative Suite.  Is there a few fonts in particular you are concerned about?

Thank you for your response. I am in the middle of a project and 3 of the 4 fonts that I am using are not part of CS4. On the old computer I have CS 2 & 3. I noticed one time when I took CS3 off of a different computer and installed it on a separate computer that there were fonts missing. The ones in this project are Goudy Old Style, Monocorsiva and Copperplate Light. When I scanned the font list on CS4 it was not as populated as it had been on the old computer. Do I have to reinstall CS2&3 in order to have the full compliment of fonts?

Doing a search at http://www.adobe.com/type/ it does not appear that these fonts are current offerings from Adobe.  In fact I could only find references to the Goudy and Copperplate font.  But those specific versions don't appear to exist in the OpenType format it is possible there was a postscript version available but that would predate the original Creative Suite which has always included OpenType fonts.  Monocorsiva does not appear to be an Adobe font.

Depending on the restrictions placed on your font you should still be able to copy and install the fonts to your new computer.  You would just want to copy the Fonts from your Fonts control panel to a USB drive and then install on the new computer.
