    I cannot use my fonts in Corel Draw anymore

    I am sure that I am not going to use all of the right terms.  Please be patient with me!

    Something has happened to my Corel Draw X3 program and I am not able to add text to any of my artwork.

    On my page, I have three lines of toolbars.  The first line has a font listed "Adobe Caslon Pro Bold".  On the third line there is a font listed "Arial".  I think the problem may be that I do not have Adobe Caslon Pro Bold in my font collection.  I have no idea how it showed up as an option.  So whenever I try to change the font, I get an error and my Draw closes. 

    Is this something that can be fixed by downloading this font?  Any help would be appreciated as I have jobs to put out on Monday!

    Lynda, did you try an F8 reset?

    If that doesn't work, you can also try a repair from the install disk.

    Are you saying that no fonts are showing up except those 2?

    What fonts are listed in Font Navigator?

    Close Corel and open it with the F8 key first. Let us know if that works.

    if this is the case, check for the option under Tools > Options > Text > Fonts > "Show document fonts only". If this option is marked on then only the fonts used in the document will be seen/Shown in the font list.

    Lynda, Anand is right.

    Check to make sure you didn't check that "Show Document Fonts Only" box first.

    I read your post on the screenprinter's forum. This happened when you cut/pasted a word document, right?
