Font problem

I think my problem is a Vista problem and not an Adobe problem. Here is my
situation. Just got a brand new computer with Vista installed. I installed
Adobe Creative Suite 1. When I opened my InDesign file, it told me there was
a font missing-Arial Black. However, I checked the fonts folder and there it
was. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing has worked. When I
look in the Fonts folder at the Font file name, it is listed as Ariblk_0.ttf.
It shouldn't have the _0 at the end. If I try to change it, it says that a
file by that name already exists, but I don't see one anywhere. Any ideas? I
really use Arial Black a lot for the publication we do.

If you don't get an answer here you might try:

www.desktoppublishingforum.com

where there are a lot of font and Adobe experts, and maybe a few VISTA
ones coming along <g>

I've just checked my Fonts folder and I do have Arial Black showing
there -- the file is arbl____.ttf (note to long underline ____ which is
4 characters to make the 8+3 file name -- arial black goes back to 1995
<g>

I wouldn't like to say that arial black came with VISTA or with
something I've installed some of which do go back in time -- like Lotus
Smartsuite <g>

My office uses Goudy Old Style font. I just got a new computer with Vista on
it and Word does not include the Goudy Old Style font. So I downloaded one.
However, its look on the screen makes it unreadable and though what it prints
is readable, it no longer matches the company's Goudy Old Style font. Any
suggestions?

I would simply copy that font from one of the company systems and install it
on the new computer.

I don't know what version of WORD you have but Goudy Old Style is in my
WORD 2002/XP.

It's a commercial font so you may have to buy it?
