So I have an issue that I hope can be solved...
A quick backstory:
We have 4 stations that run Omega 3.0 (2 CP and 2 CS). Only 1 is used for outputting to our plotter (older HS15plus). That station had been replaced with a new Win7 machine, which required a special USB to Serial conversion cable to connect to to the plotter. The conversion cable required Omega 4.0 to work.
4.0 had been installed side-by-side with 3.0 and works/outputs just as advertised.
The problem is all our extra fonts (in .GSF format) that we had in 3.0 don't seem to have a place in 4.0, the new version seems to not save the fonts in the same manner. I can't just copy the folder of fonts over like with previous upgrades. This includes all of the converted true type fonts (like A&S and others) and any other extra fonts that were included with 3.0.
This means that I cannot open an existing job file that uses those fonts and make edits, because the new version will force a font substitution.
I hope I have explained my issue clearly. I realize that we can always work in 3.0, and only use 4.0 to output, but that limitation is annoying and would seem unnecesary.
