Hoping someone can help.
 
I am on a Mac OS 10.6.7 and running Acrobat Pro 8.3.0
 
I use Font Explorer Pro v 2.5.2 and recenty decided to unload all the fonts I had running and start clean again. I had been doing a lot of ad work and had too many in my menu. Instead of unloading them one at a time, I hit "all".
 
SO the issue now is that old pdfs, created by other people, is displaying in a font that is almost illegible and not the one that was originally viewed.
 
Any ideas on how to go backward and get the generic font working as a default instead of "Aase" which I use occasionally.
 
thanks all.. hoping this makes sense.. 5am here in Australia.

Hi,

you probably unloaded some fonts used by Acrobat, try this: using Font Explorer Pro, search for "Adobe" fonts and reload them…
