lost fonts (maximo and others) after upgrading to snow leopard

Did anyone else notice missing fonts after upgrading and/or updating? I opened up a file created before the upgrade and I was notified of about 5 missing fonts...not cool.

Thanks!

Same problem!


I have installed a fresh Mac OS X (10.7 LION). Now I have problems with some fonts from older documents such as font "MAXIMO".


I've searched inside my old Mac OS X installation for this font - but nothing. I tryed to find the font with Font Explorer. Even the FontExplorer found no font with the name "MAXIMO".


Any ideas?

Hans --


Google is your friend.

Maximo is a legitiate font, available for commercial use.

There is also a "free" version that is not legitimate. Built all wrong.

So your Mac does not recognize the "free" one.


You can go out and buy the real font and have it work, or you can redownload the fake "free" one.

mhh - bad news.


To the background: In Pages there are some templates. I took one of them (2-3 years ago) and redesigned it for my use. I didn't changed any Fonts. Some changes for borders etc - nothing more.


Before I installed the fresh Lion installation it works. On the harddisk was installed 10.2 - 10.7 (with all the upgrades).


My opinion is, that the Font is a part of the templates or a part of OS X 10.x. I have no problem to reinstall the font (all DVD's are working), but where should I start searching for the font ;-)


To buy the font is one way ... the last path.
