InDesign and font filenames

Ken Krugh

I am in the throws of modifying a bunch of old fonts to better work with InDesign within our production environment.

Somewhere, somehow InDesign is associating a certain font with a font filename. I discovered this by having renamed a font family and reloading the font. InDesign was still showing the OLD font family name in its menu. All I had to do was to rename the font FILE and InDesign saw the new font family name.

Does anyone know where InDesign is storing such information?

Many thanks,
Ken
