Trying to edit iweb from 2nd mac, I transferred domain.site2 from original mac (where everything looks fine and is editable)to a thumbdrive, then dragged to corresponding folder on my second mac. When iweb opens the "seville" font is missing. I looked in the font folders and it is nowhere to be found
I looked in the font folders and it is nowhere to be found
The font should be on that machine too.
And when you publish your pages, the font should be on your visitors computer as well.
Or put the font on the server and create a stylesheet to embed that font in the webpage.

Or don't use that font.
Other experts will tell you to use web safe fonts.
Thank you for your help.
I understand it "should be on that machine too".
That is the problem. It's not.
Yes, the font shows up on other computers as well. Because I used "seville" and it is NOT a web safe font I had to use the trick where you apply shadow to the text and basically make it a picture file in iweb.
At home I have the last gen mac mini. I used to keep my G5 tower at work and edit the iweb page between the two by transferring the domain.site2 file with a usb stick. Had no issues.
I sold the G5 and have replaced it with the newest generation iMac. This is the machine that is not locating the "seville" font.
When opening iWeb the page loads but as soon as I click on one of the pages to edit it says "Missing Font" "Seville". "To include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder, then quit and reopen iWeb".
I have 30+ pages and use the Seville font as a link on EVERY page. It is NOT an option to use another font. Can't I just download the font from apple and put it in the folder? This seems like it should be really easy...
Is the Seville font incompatible on new iMacs? That doesn't seem likely. By the way, my page loads accurately when I open it on the internet from the new iMac
Thanks in advance
Is this a custom font that you installed on the first machine? I don't have a Seville font on my iMac nor is it listed in these Apple documents: Mac OS X 10.4: Fonts list, Mac OS X 10.5: Fonts list or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard font list.
You do know that if another computer does not have that font installed they will substitute a different font and change the entire look of the site, right? The spacing, alignment, wrapping, etc. can suffer.
OT
Your problem is easy to understand.
Your seville font is on the G5 computer.
You sold it.
Now the computer with the seville font is gone.
It doesn't appear on your NEW computer by magic.
Any application or document that uses that font will tell you it is missing.
You have to install the seville font on your NEW computer.
And of course the webpage shows the font. It's a picture!
Okay. So I think I just figured out why the font was appearing on the mac mini and NOT the imac.
When I purchased the mac mini about 6 months ago, I transferred the harddrive from the G5--basically making it the same machine.
I did not do this with the imac. It is just scratch from the factory.
But this does not solve the issue with why "seville" was on the G5 in the first place. I do not recall EVER making any adjustments to the font availability (ie downloading new fonts). This is not to say I didn't acquire it somehow.
This must be the logical answer as ALL 3 machines are running the same OS and version of iWeb.
I guess I just need to go download that font
