I have created a plethora of icons using the Lithos Pro Bold font.

Last week I installed Creative Suites 3 but shortly realized I didn’t need it. I uninstalled it and it took my Lithos fonts with it.

I have several Adobe products but I am having a hard time finding which one would have came with the Lithos Pro Bold. I’ve found "black" and "regular" but not "bold"

Well, you could fork over the $35 and buy a copy here:

Probably more cost effective than spending three hours searching and installing programs.

Yes,

I saw it there. But, I have an issue with paying for something twice.

Did you look in C:\Program Files\Comman Files\Adobe\Fonts?

He already paid hundreds for CS3 and isn’t using it. Now you suggest he spend another $35.

Hey, I’m not shilling for Adobe. I just noted that if it is going to take hours to find the software that had the font on it, it might be smarter to just repurchase. And the fact that he "spent 100s for CS3" is immaterial. CS3 didn’t remove his fonts. He did, somehow. CS3 does not remove fonts when it is installed.

Guys,

Let me clarify what happened.

I had Lithos Pro Bold font on my machine. I downloaded the TRIAL to Creative Suites 3 and immediately didn’t like it so I uninstalled it.

When I uninstalled it took my fonts with it. I tried doing a system restore but that didn’t work.

I did find Lithos Pro Regular and Lithos Pro Black in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 trial; but, I haven’t found the bold yet. One user told me where it was on the CS3 disks which I don’t have.

However, I do own many Adobe products and I am sure one of them installed the font I was just hoping someone knew which one it was. That was saving me the hours of looking — hence the posting.

But, yes, I do have an issue with paying for somethign that I already own.

the installer/uninstaller doesn’t touch anything that it didn’t create on installation. that’s why preferences aren’t removed when uninstalling, because they’re created on 1st run, not with installation.

iow, and repeating what don is saying, ps didn’t remove your font. you did it somehow.

One user told me where it was on the CS3 disks which I don’t have.

reading back over the thread, ok, if the installer DID install it as part of the installation for the TRIAL, then yes, it WOULD be removed, as it should be. if you want the font, you have to pay for it. if it comes WITH ps cs3 as part of the package, you end up paying for the font WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE PACKAGE.

I don’t think Photoshop ships with any fonts, but I could be wrong.

But, CS2 and CS3 handled the fonts differently. CS2 installed them here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and CS3 installs them directly into your fonts folder to be accessed by all apps.

So check that common files folder and see if you can find it there.

No. I didn’t remove the font. I was working with the font in the morning. I installed and uninstalled Creative Suite 3 and then all of my lithos fonts were gone.

One doesn’t accidentally go into c/windows/fonts and remove items.

I have my instances of OHS but this wasn’t one of them.

And as I repeated — I have no doubt that the font came with CS3; but, it also came with something prior to CS3 because it was on my system prior to installing the trial of CS3.

That was the whole point of this inquiry — what other Adobe software (prior to CS3) would have installed the font. I thought it was InDesign but I reinstalled my InDesign and did not get the font.

I did pay for the font at some point prior to CS3. I’m not trying to get CS3 for free — I would just like my adobe products to be returned to the state they were in before installing trial software.

CS and CS2 both shipped with that font.

"That was saving me the hours of looking"

Sounds like you could use a disk cataloging utility. They can come in really handy in just such an "emergency."

To Don, message #11:

Not true that uninstalling CS3 doesn’t remove fonts. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall CS3 several times, and every time I uninstall it, the fonts are removed. Trust me… Uninstalling CS2 does the same thing.

But now Jeff says he’s talking about the trial version of CS3. The situation seems to be that he had this font from a previous Adobe program (maybe CS or CS2), and he paid for the font when he bought that program.

I expect the install of CS3 trial overwrote the font with a new copy, and the uninstall of CS3 trial removed it.

Jeff needs to go back to the disks from the program from which the font originally came, and copy it from there.

In CS2, the font is on the Resources and Extras disk, folder Goodies\InDesign CS2\Adobe Fonts\Lithos Pro. There are 5 weights, from extra light to black, including bold.

On CS’s Installer 2 disk, you’ll find all of the InDesign fonts in this archive: \Adobe Creative Suite\Adobe InDesign CS\data1.cab

There’s a problem here: WinZip cannot open this CAB file. But a program called ZipScan can. You can find a trial version of the current version of ZipScan on the web, and a free download of an earlier version.
