Font installation
All font related documentation is online. Visit
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/landing/creativesuite/creativesuite4.html to find our
OpenType User Guide, OpenType ReadMe, links to font specific readmes, listings of fonts
installed by the different CS4 products, and listings of fonts included on DVD for each of the CS4
products.
The Illustrator CS4 installer installs fonts into a default system font directory. Many of these fonts
are newer versions of fonts installed by Creative Suite 3 or Illustrator CS3. If the installer finds
older versions of these fonts in the default system font directory, it will de-install the older
versions, and save them to a new directory. The default system font directory is:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Fonts
Windows: <System Disk>:\Windows\Fonts
The older fonts will be saved in the new directory:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SavedFonts/current
Windows: <System Disk>:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\SavedFonts\current
This new directory will also contain a file named "Read Me.html" which lists the saved fonts, and
the version numbers of the new and of the old font files.
