Font replacement for Optima

My Mac died a year ago and alot of my photoshop files have the Optima font used in them. I am having a hard time finding a suitable font replacement on the PC.

Can anyone suggest a replacement? I would prefer to have Optima on the PC, but its seems impossable.

I have been to these sites already (Googled for font replacement), and I can't afford to purchase fonts at this time. Is there a font I might already have installed that is a good replacement? Windows doesn't really have a way to preview fonts like the Mac does with it's "font book".

I decided to look for a "font manager" for Windows and found The Font Thing at Downloads.com. This is not as pretty as Mac's font book, but it did the trick.

I have found that "CG Omega" is a suitable substitution for Optima. It is an HP font.
