Font Apple Casual Missing

I have been using my website, built with iweb08, for some time. Now suddenly, when I try to open a page, I get a message saying that the font Apple Casual is missing. How can this happen and how can I get it back? I have searched all over my box.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Open Font Book, located in your Applications folder, and see if Apple Casual is listed. If it is, disable the font and then enable it. See if that will jump start it.

If the font isn't listed nor can you find it via a search with Find File (Find File searches in locations that Spotlight will not), You'll have to reinstall it from the system install disk.

Download Pacifist and use it to search the system install disk for that font. When you find it extract and install it.

It's a hidden font. This is from Wikipedia:

"Apple Casual is located at one of these locations:

/System/Library/Components/Ink.component/Contents/SharedSupport/InkServer.app/Co ntents/Resources/AppleCasual.dfont
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/Ink.framework/Resources/A ppleCasual.dfont"

Check in the HD/System/Library folder to see if you can find the file that contains them. If you do COPY it to the desktop, open the package and move the font out. Double click on it to install. That is, if you can get the font out of the container. Haven't run into this before.

Or use Pacifist to locate the InkServer.app and try replacing it where it should be located. It's easy to find on the HD using Find File.

I have this same problem on occasion, and I have just gone out to the web and found a free copy of the missing font and down loaded it...am I setting myself up for problems...it has happened with Edwardian Script, Harrington and with News Gothic MT. I have only looked in Font Book for them....i think i found Edwardian disabled, but I couldn't find the others. Just want to make sure I am not causing an issue.

Thank you for you help. Find File could not find the font. I opened the 10.5 install disk with Pacifist and I could not find it on the install disk. Any other suggestions?
