First welcome to the forums. Posting full information here will get answers in most cases, things like ? What operating system are you running? Are you using any kind of font management application?

Have you done a search of your hard drive to make sure of where they are? It could
be that you are seeing fonts that are in a specific place that one application
ie Photoshop, can find them, but Freehand dosen't look there for them. If you aren't
using a font manager, you may want to consider one. To get by, find the location of the
font you want, and copy it to your System Font Folder. That should activate it for all
applications that way. Keep in mind that this isn't a long term fix, just one to get by.
Over time it could cause you trouble.

Hope it helps...

i've searched my hard drive and there are no fonts anywhere. anyway when i insatlled he fonts i just copied them into the fonts directory in the control panel. i don't even know if thats the right way to do it! when you do that (copy new fonts in the fonts dir) replaces other fonts so they wont exceed a spesific number?
Do you have a font manager to recoment me?
thanks in __> advance
