Enjoy!

Upper management folks are indeed following up on this, as of early this week. If you or somebody you know purchased the Creative Suite 2 and registered online, but did not get an email with a link to get your registration incentive goodies, please let me know the name and email address so I can pass your name along.

One other issue that has been a problem is that sometimes these emails get caught by spam filters, or deleted by a person thinking they're spam. :(

Needless to say, we regret any inconvenience and hope to straighten out the problem for anybody who encountered it.

Regards,

T

Thomas:

Thank you so much for getting some action on this matter.

I understand from Customer Service that they have quite a list of people who have registered the CS2 Suite on-line but who never received the follow-up e-mail.

I am fairly sure that my name is on their list but, just to make sure, I am sending it, and my e-mail address, to you as well.

[ I have your e-mail address but others may need to know where they should send their information. ]

[Thomas Phinney]

Send them to tphinney -atsign- adobe (dot) com.

Please don't bombard me with random other questions, though. :)

Regards,

T

>Please don't bombard me with random other questions, though.

As Thomas comes here, generously, on his own time, please respect his wishes and keep all other type or software issues within the Forums. Or contact Adobe customer service or tech support through the regular channels.

Thanks.

I have got my mail - and the incentive Garamond Premier Pro!
Thank you very much, Thomas, for your generosity giving your time!

Thank you!

Michael

[_Stuart_McCoy_]

So, I got the Creative Suite Premium 2 upgrade and registered but I never got any information about receiving the garamond premiere pro font. How do I get it?

[Neil_Keller]

Stuart,

As I recall, the premiums are on the page(s) where you register the software. If no luck, then call customer service.

Neil

[_Stuart_McCoy_]

Thanks Neil. After speaking with a completely rude and clueless support person, I wound up reinstalling the Creative Suite, which takes a very long time by the way since it insisted on uninstalling the Suite first, and re-registering. What I don't get out of all this is why does it matter if one registers through the app itself or online at a later time? Is Adobe collecting information during the install process that they can't collect through the web?

[Dov Isaacs]

FWIW, no information is collected by Adobe during the installation process for registration purposes other than the serial number.

Stuart,<br /><br />Sorry you wound up with the hassle. Oh, boy, do I know how long it takes to install the suite, and then do the updates!<br /><br />You should always get the name of the support person and request to speak with a supervisor. There is absolutely no call for rudeness under the circumstances.<br /><br />I don't know what, if any info, is collected via registering online. But that's the route I generally take with my software, and I haven't found anything in my life changed as a result. <vbg><br /><br />Neil

Neil,

He wasn't overly rude but his tone could have been better. he seemed to take offense when I questioned the logic behind the two seperate registration databases and not being able to more easily remedy a situation where my software was clearly registered, just not through the proper route to get the typeface. He did bump the issue up to his supervisor because he couldn't add me to the incentive database they apparently keep seperate from the normal registrations. Why, I don't know, but I don't care anymore because I got the font without too much trouble.

[Neil_Keller]

Thanks, Dov.

Much relieved by your response! As I wrote, I never had any reason to believe otherwise.

>Ideally, I would want control over the installation of any new fonts (which, when and where), rather than have an application installer make the decision (rightly or wrongly) for me. From your description, I see a possibility of fonts being installed twice, causing font conflicts, if you should move your fonts to some location other than the default installation.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I've noticed that with two computers on which I've installed CS2 (Mac) Bickham Script is recognised by PS, AI & ID, but not by FontBook, which is annoying. Apparently, the font is installed in an Adobe folder, not the system folder.

Strangely enough, Warnock Pro, which was presumably installed at the same time, is present and correct in FontBook.

Really, I would like the opportunity to install fonts separately, or at least stipulate where the installer puts them.

[_Dominic_Hurley_]

You do have the opportunity to install fonts separately. Just move out all the fonts out of the Adobe common files folder and install them (or not) where you want. Is it really such a hassle for people to move fonts out of one specified folder?

[_Nigel_Moore_]

>Is it really such a hassle for people to move fonts out of one specified folder?

Is it really such a hassle for the installer to install fonts in the system font folder, or to give an option to choose?

[_Dominic_Hurley_]

I doubt it's a major hassle for the installer to install fonts in the system folder but it would be a major hassle for many users, especially if they have other fonts there with the same name. As for giving you the choice, I don't really see much of a difference between sitting there going through the fonts in an install screen or going through them in the common fonts folder after the install. Either way, you get to choose which stay on your system.

[_Nigel_Moore_]

I may be being naive, but I would assume that a font in the system fonts folder with the same name is the same font, so wouldn't be installed again.

Frankly, I didn't realise there was an Adobe fonts folder until I searched after coming across this thread. I wonder how many other users are in the same position? (BTW, I am quite tech savvy, lest you think I missed this because I'm a numnut)

[Neil_Keller]

Nigel,

Identically named fonts can be installed multiple times, particularly if different installed locations are used. Then you have the potential for font conflicts.

Neil

[Thomas Phinney]

Fonts with the same internal names are NOT necessarily the same font. Apple has long had a habit of licensing from Linotype TrueType versions of the same fonts that Adobe licenses from Linotype, and keeping the names the same. The character set or other properties may differ.

Of course, on the Mac OS, there are not one but THREE system font locations (and more if you have more than one user). You'd have to decide which of those to install the fonts into.

Also, many serious font users use font management utilities (other than Apple's FontBook). These people don't particularly want applications dumping all their fonts in the system fonts folder. At least if they get dumped in a private Adobe fonts folder it's slightly clearer what's what.

Not that I'm saying that solution is great, either, just that there are pluses and minuses to any single location. Probably the ideal thing would be to have the installer ask the user what they want... but that's a bunch more complication for the installer.

Regards,

T

Thomas,
I really appreciate the list, especially since OSX is not capable of printing the contents of a folder in list view.
In OS9, if I wanted a quik Excel spreadsheet of my font folder's contents, I could just open the folder, select all, copy and paste into Excel. The result would be the listed contents in Excel, with a little cell shuffling a nice sortable list could be created.
I haven't figured out how to do this in X yet.

Thanks again,
Peter

Peter,
There's a shareware program called Print Window that lets me do just that in OSX. You might want to look it up. It's a Searchware Solutions product, I don't have the web address.

I would like to clean up my fonts? What fonts are required in CS2

[BobLevine]

There's an Adobe/Fonts folder created when you install the suite. Within
that folder is another subfolder that contains the required fonts...DO
NOT DELETE OR MOVE them.

Bob

[Neil_Keller]

greet,

As far as I know, only your basic system fonts.

Neil

[Neil_Keller]

On the Mac (Library --> Application Support --> Adobe --> Fonts --> Reqrd --> Base)

The only fonts I have in my Reqrd folder are the four members of the Myriad (PostScript Type 1) family. These are not to be confused with the optional OpenType versions.

AFAIK, the only other fonts you need are the basic fonts required by your operating system.

Neil
