    Our Office just upgraded from AutoCAD 2007 to 2012.

    We lost the font CG Omega along the way.

    One of our staff found it on her computer and e-mailed it to me.

    But instead of being one CG Omega.TTF, the e-mail broke it up into 4 separate TTFs.

    They are:

    CGOR45W, CGOR46W, CGOR65W, and CGOR66W.

    I am hesitatant try these.

    Why did that happen?

    Any advice?

    when I tried copying & pasting the font from my windows fonts directory, it pasted as 4 ttf flies with different names from what you posted.  from the "font settings" panel on the side, it takes me to a control panel page where I can reset default font settings - something about hiding fonts that aren't in my language.  Try resetting & seeing what happens.  I can't seem to take the font & zip it to attach :smileysad:

    Many TTF fonts are multiple files: nothing new or unusual about it. Look at an FONTS folder in Windows through a DOS listing, you'll see behind the curtain what all is being masked.

    One of the guys here knew to send it to the Windows Font folder as you mentioned.

    Copying the four files proved difficul; at times, the Font folder was hiding.

    And, we had to restart AutoCAD before the 4 files folded into one CG Omega.

    I don't think I could do it again without help.

    Thanks for your help -KLYPH

    Installing Windows fonts is easy nd one-step when you know how. Explore this:

    http://www.microsoft.com/typography/TrueTypeInstall.mspx

    It helps if AutoCAD is not running at the time of he addition.

    Thanks for the link to the website.

    However, I can't double click on a font that doesn't exist.

     

    What I had to do was copy each of the four "CGOR45W..." files to my Desktop.

    Then I could drag them to the Windows Font file, the one that kept "hiding" when I tried to copy them to it.

    Then I had to reboot the computer.

    Then CG Omega was a font.
