when switching from Windows XP to Windows 7...and now has no fonts of her own?

Raise your hand.

^^ That would be me

I completely forgot when Russ was asking about all the files that I needed copied over...and now they're all gone LOL. That's how I wanted to spend my work time.

Aww... so sorry...

urgh. that's awful. just got a new laptop last night and i need to move a bunch of stuff over to the new laptop. fonts are high on my list.

Oh no, Darcy! That's no fun at all! Poor you!

sprauncey1 · #5 11-02-2010, 07:57 AM

That is why I keep a copy of the fonts I have installed in my scrapping folder. I always forget when DH is switching computers, upgrading, or just plain messing with my computer. I guess you live and you learn and then you work! Sorry Darcy!

Well, I did finally find my copy of the font folder that I had hidden, but I hadn't updated it in long enough that it doesn't contain much of what I need. He says we can migrate it from the old hard drive ... so that's good. But I need it NOW! not tonight LOLOLOL

litabells · #7 11-02-2010, 08:14 AM

Oh dear lol Sounds like something I would do lol

heathergw · #8 11-02-2010, 08:47 AM

I did that when we got our new computer... it's definitely something you only do once and then never forget to do again... hope it goes quickly Darcy.

MamaBee · #9 11-02-2010, 09:05 AM

Yeah... uhm, I've done this...

It is frustrating, especially when you open an old file only to find out you don't have that font loaded...

ColleenSwerb · #10 11-02-2010, 09:05 AM

I'm sorry, but I totally giggled that you, the FONT designer, forgot to move her fonts.

I'm glad you can at least get them back tonight though

strawberryredhead · #11 11-02-2010, 09:08 AM

Yup. Totally done this before.

Me too...

I'm sitting here thinking: "uhm... wait... the font lady has no fonts????"

Glad you got alot of them back

This is another reason I love my Mac. When I get a new computer and I'm setting it up, it asks if I'm transferring from an old one, I hook them up, and EVERYTHING transfers. Love it! And updating the OS is just as seamless.

Hope you get everything back Darcy!!

Darcy Baldwin · #14 11-02-2010, 10:20 AM

Windows does that, too, Lydia..we just couldn't do it with some things that we had configured...and some deadlines I was running on, so Russ did a lot of the work ahead of time. We'll be able to hook up the old drive tonight and copy over some of the things I missed. Our situation just made it weird.

That's happened to me more times than I care to admit. Although, it was always DH's fault... he never thinks to tell me when he's re-installing Windows or anything that involves back-ups. When he switched to Windows 7 3 weeks ago, he told me not to worry... he backed up EVERYTHING. Until I went into PSE and tried scrapping. I realized quite quickly that I no longer have brushes, styles or actions installed!!! AGHHHHHH!

NeverendingJen · #16 11-02-2010, 11:07 AM

*raises hand* thankfully I had JUST updated the font files on my other computer a few weeks ebfore, so I only lost a few fonts.

CA Dreamer · #17 11-02-2010, 11:54 AM

So sorry, Darcy. I noticed on my computer that font files are not automatically backed up by Carbonite either. You have to set your preferences for font files to be backed up.
