Question

Adobe Myriad Arabic Font

My computer just crashed and I had to do a fresh installation of Windows, including Creative Suite 5.5. I lost my font folder and now don't seem to have Adobe Myriad Arabic. I need the font to work on an important existing document. Since CS5.5 is "So Old", Adobe won't provide any support for the product. I have no plans of "purchasing" what I already owned. Someone please help, thanks.

    You do backup your computer on at least a semi-regular basis, don't you?

    Why don't you simply go to one of your backups and retrieve the font files in question from your backups for your fresh installation of Windows and Creative Suite 5.5? That would solve the problem.

    (BTW, there are two distinct font families, Adobe Arabic and Myriad Arabic. There is no Adobe Myriad Arabic font family! )

    I have Adobe Arabic and I have Myriad Pro. I don't have Myriad Arabic anymore. My sentence indicated "Myriad Arabic", which is a font by Adobe, hence, Adobe Myriad Arabic.

    My system disk is different from my data drives. My data drives are backed up regularly (and mirrored in RAID 1), my system disk not as often and for whatever bizarre reason, doesn't contain the font folder. The entire windows folders are truncated for some reason.

    So that's why I'm here.

    OK. Sorry to hear that your system disk backup wasn't complete.

    The question is then where you licensed the Myriad Arabic font(s) from? I don't believe that they were bundled with any Adobe software. If you licensed the fonts directly from Adobe (from the Adobe website when we were directly selling such licenses), you might try contacting Adobe Customer Support and they might be able to assist you (be persistent and ask for a supervisor if the initial agent doesn't know how to assist). If you licensed the fonts from some other vendor, similarly contact them.

    Regrettably, there is nothing we can do on these forums to directly assist you in retrieving copies of those font files.
