Hey,

Im a CC member. I have illustrator on my laptop and PC. On my laptop I have Gill Sans Nova, but I do not have it on my PC. Its not a font that I got from TypeKit, nor is it available. I did not download the font. Is there a way to get the same fonts on my laptop to work on my PC?

Thank you

To see the installed fonts - into windows Start search box type

Fonts

Or get there via the Control Panel

and

Assuming either OTF or TTF files for the fonts:

Navigate to the folder/directory containing the font files.

Highlight the file names in the usual way. Copy them to a flash drive.

Wait for the copy to complete.

Remove flash drive from the source computer and plug into the destination computer.

Navigate to the flash drive find the font files and highlight them.

Right mouse click and select Install from the context menu.

If your contract allows isage on more than one computer, you can install the font on your other PC. Are they the same system (both WIn or both Mac?)

If it's not the same system, then it depends on the font file format.

How to handle fonts please read the operating system's documentation.
