I have a MacPro and a MacBook Pro and am trying to share fonts between the two using Dropbox. The problem is, the font files are zero Kb in size on the MBP but work fine on the MacPro where they were first.
Is this a built in DRM issue with Dropbox? Anyone else had a similar issue or know a workaround?

It's a file server issue. Any non-OTF fonts are going to be corrupted if you drop them into a Dropbox folder. I only use OTF fonts, so I haven't had this issue but one time, which was with ITC Grouch, and as a result, I no longer have that font.

zip them first, and they should be ok.
- I think you missed the point. He wants the font library ON dropbox so he can link his font app to Dropbox w/multiple computers.********
- computers. Which isn't going to work unless the fonts are OTF.********

any file with data in the resource fork (old style mac files) will have this issue...

Thanks! Guess I'll just copy them over the old fashioned way
