Computer font "Textile"

I used the font "Textile" which is owned by Apple on my old system using OS 9.1. I now have a new iMac running OS 10.4 Tiger and don't find it. Does anyone know where to find "Textile" and how to include it in the Font Library?

iMac Intel Core Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Textile is part of OS9/Classic, which is not supported on Intel Mac's, so you don't even have it on a disk I suppose. You can get a copy from someone who has Classic on their machine, or email me (click on my name for the address).

Tom,
That is very helpful, thank you. I do have the intallation discs from OS 9.1, and also have the old copy of Microsoft Office where I used the textile font in Word. Would the font be on either one of those, and if so can I open them to get at it without running an entire installation? Otherwise, if I "get it" from you, how do I install it and will it install if it is not "supported" in OS 10.4.
Thanks so much,
Dave

Office doesn't have it. You might find it on the install disk. You can certainly open the OS 9 disk and see what is inside without running anything.

if it is not "supported" in OS 10.4.

You just stick it in Home/Library/Fonts

It's OS 9 which is not supported on intel macs, nothing to do with the fonts.
