Hello, thank you for your response. I'm sorry about creating multiple posts, I just wasn't sure the best way to get help.
Our issues are exclusively in Mac, and arise when opening a document that was created on a PC and contain text set using the Windows version of Century Gothic on those machines. When we open the documents with AutoCAD for Mac, because the identical font is not available, the standard alternate font (simplex.shx in this case) is used to ‘replace’ the font (the text displays as this alternate font, even if it is still listed as Century Gothic and marked with a yellow warning triangle under the Font Menu). The problem this causes is that the text is all formatted based on the parameters of Century Gothic, so when we try to change it or print it out from the Mac, it might not fit on the page or run over onto other elements in the drawing. Now that there is a OSX compatible version of Century Gothic on the Mac, I can use it in any application, including AutoCAD if I select it manually, but also pages, etc.
I did try to take the font file out of windows and load it into the mac, but I believe the file was unreadable, which is why we purchased the new Century Gothic .otf file for the Mac.
I think you are probably dead on about the different names between the Office originated font and the mac .otf file I installed from the internet. It was one of the first things I thought of, and I tried changing the name of the font file, but it still registers as Century Gothic Std both in Fontbook and AutoCAD.
