cheapest place for trade gothic and or univers is myfonts.com
if you pay with paypal you get the fonts immediately.if you copy (working) fonts from a mac to another mac and get 0kb files, try to zip them first, or make a dmg of the whole folder.

Export them as zipped folders from your font management program.
I'm all for buying fonts and supporting the designers, but I've always figured if your employer owns the fonts already, they're fair game for taking home—you know, just in case you have to work late and don't need to be at the office, etc.

only opentype and truetype fonts work both on pc and mac, you will need a converter to get the mac ps fonts to work. http://www.fontlab.com/font-conv… is pretty much the best, and well worth $180 if you plan to convert a lot of fonts.
