Added Font Not Working

Hi, I am new here.  I just purchased a font (Boycot) and added it to my "fonts" folder.  It works great in MS Word, but doesn't seem to work in Photoshop.  I have CS2 and I'm using a PC.  When I select the text tool and then the "Boycot" font, I see only blank spaces (if that) and then I get an error message.  The two messeges are:  "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised." or "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  Other font's work fine and as I said... the "Boycot" font works in other programs like MS Word.
Thanks!

How do I do the adobefnt*.lst files process?
Win2K?   
Now he tells us! You do realise it's now Year 2000+9 don't you?
Anyway, do a normal OS search for Adobefnt*.lst  (that's .LST!) and delete all instances.

  • Lucida Grande font not working on CS6

    Just installed CS6 on macbook pro - Lion 10.7.4 - Lucida Grande font works on CS5 but not on CS6. Can someone help? I have tons of web stuff designed with this font.

    Try the below mentioned steps and then check:-
    1.   Drag the contents of the Library/ Fonts folder to a new folder on the desktop. (If you manually added fonts to the Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Fonts folder, also drag those fonts to the new folder.)
    2.    At the Finder, choose File > Find.
    3 .   Type AdobeFnt.lst, select the system drive, and then press Return.
    4.    Delete all AdobeFnt.lst files found (for example, AdobeFnt10.lst).
    5.     Restart the computer.
    6 .    Restart InDesign. InDesign creates new AdobeFnt.lst files.  
          Try to re-create the problem. Then, do one of the following:    
    If the problem doesn't recur, move one font back to the Library/Fonts folder, and then repeat steps 5-6 until you identify the problematic font.
    If you have a font management utility, restart it and activate fonts in small groups or individually to identify the problematic font.
    If the problem recurs, move the contents of the new folder on the desktop back to the Library/Fonts folder.
    Note: If no adobefnt.lst file is found in the search, make sure that the search criteria are set to 'any' in the Find dialog box.

  • Why does set font not work in report generation toolkit?

    I would like to change font and underline when inserting text into a Microsoft Word document. I have tried using the
    "Set Report Font" vi directly in front of an "Append Report Text" vi in my own application. The inserted text at the bookmark is always in the default text mode
    of the document. Is this a bug?
    I also tried the find and replace vi with the same result. Font will not change.
    I also cannot  find any examples of this usage that work. See example vi file below.
    Save at C:\ or adjust the template location accordingly in the vi.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks,

    That's a cool tool Ben!  However, with a bookmark, you know the location on a Word Template, and if you know the location in MS Word, you can then set the fonts you want in Word.
    Do you know how to change the fonts in a string?
    Example, How do you insert this block of text on a SINGLE MS Word bookmark?
    PART NUMBER: 1234567890
    DESCRIPTION:  These lines are formated dynamically, some orders may have 1 PN, and other orders many have 500 PNs.
    I'm formatting my line details and inserting them on a MS Word bookmark.  After the initial bookmark I have no more control of the fonts for the entire string block.  I'd like to dynamically change the fonts in a string and I'd like to use MS Word.  I saw HTML report writing, but, in my particular application, HTML reports will not work.

    I don't have the time to try anything but as a suggestion I would experiment with the range start end properties (e.g. from start =0 to end =
    12 bold is true, from 13 to 23 bold is false, ....) You first insert text without formatting then you use the range start and end to format the text.
    I'm not sure it will work but it's worth a try.

    note: I would create a 2D array of start and end index of your string and auto-index a for loop that contain the range property node.

    Most likely you have some corrupt fonts installed.
    Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems.

  • Armenian Mshtakan font not working in MS Word

    Hello,
    I am able to use the Armenian Mshtakan font on a Macbook pro using OS 10.7.5 only in Text Edit.  It will not work in MS Word.
    Is there any way to get Mshtakan font to work in MS Word for Mac?  Currently using MS Office 2011.
    Microsoft's website states that it does not support custom fonts due to security issues, and yet there are some custom fonts that DO work in
    Word,  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
    I've tried clearing the cache file for MS Office Preferences, tried copying the font in fontbook to the Microsoft fonts folder. None of these things have worked.
    Thanks!

    I've got the same problem.
    Have you found the solution yet?

  • Copperplate Gothic font not working in some versions of Firefox

    Copperplate Gothic font not properly working in some versions of Firefox. whereas perfectly working in remaining browsers. when I follow the instruction and Restart Firefox in Safe Mode, the problem does not happen in Safe Mode. According to instruction for Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems, If problem not occur in Safe Mode, it is most likely because of hardware acceleration. when I Turn off hardware acceleration, the problem is no longer happening, then hardware acceleration is likely the cause of this issue. How i can fix this issue for Firefox on deployed site without changing font.

    Does Firefox use another font instead?
    If this is the case then which font?
    You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

    It wouldn't hurt to clarify what you mean by "not working."
    Does that mean you can see it and select it in the font menu, but then it somehow subsequently fails to __________ ... ?
    Or, do you mean it doesn't appear in the font menu? (Please be sure you check the entire font menu, and not just where you expect it to appear via alphabetical order.)

  • Using AS Linkage name for embedded font not working in CS6

    "Myriad Pro" with bold and italic styles embedded with the linkage names "Body", "BodyBold" and "BodyItalic".
    Creating a TextField using Flash CS6's toolbar and setting its font to "Body*" works fine, but not when its htmlText value has <b> and <em>, etc, tags.
    This also does not work:
    style.setStyle(".something", {fontFamily:"BodyBold"});
    ... but this does:
    style.setStyle(".something", {fontFamily:"Myriad Pro Bold"});
    Using the AS Linkage name worked in prior versions. I like using them because I can change global fonts for "stage" elements.

    Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.

  • Cyrillic (cp1251) font not working

    Hello all!
    I installed a cyrillic font called ER Kurier 1251, but it works for English characters only. Some other font is used to display Russian characters, as if Mac OS X didn't find them in this font.
    Although, when I browse this font in Font Book, Russian letters are there!
    Can anybody make it work?
    Anton
    Here's the link to the font:
    http://brama.com/compute/mac/fonts/ERKurier1251.hqx
    (I used the free Unarchiever utility to unpack it, because the Mac OS's standard utility didn't extract them correctly. Also I can e-mail the unpacked file to those you will be interested.)
    And here's another post that I came upon, which may shed some light on the problem:
    "Regarding the compatibility of old Cyrillic TrueType fonts working with OS X, there is a bug in how OS X reads these fonts: they surely continue to work as such, but even if such fonts were recognized by Mac OS 9 to be compatible with the Cyrillic language kit, this does not necessarily mean that these fonts will be recognized by OS X as Cyrillic fonts - they may be treated as Latin fonts (in OS 9 terms: fonts for the Roman Script) simply containing Cyrillic characters - and then you loose the ability to switch fonts in apps that are Unicode-aware.
    The issue actually depends on how such fonts were created, and the bug affects fonts consisting of several weights that were grouped into a font family (so that you can select the weight by applying the appropriate style)."

    That doesn't seem to help. I already have Russian (Cyrillic Mac)keyboard layout, which came with Mac OS X. Now I have downloaded ER Kurier Mac (which is in Mac Cyrillic encoding). Still not working...
    The keyboard layouts that Apple provides with OS X are Unicode only. To type with a font in a legacy encoding you must install something else which maps the character codes 128-255 (hex 80-FF) used for Cyrillic in the legacy charset to the normal keys.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCyrillic_encoding
    Whether such layouts will function correctly is another question, but it is worth a try. You could even try making one yourself for cp 1251 using Ukelele.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.

    Corporations can claim support for type product that is correctly licenced. The professional procedure for you is not to post on a public list, but to inform your client of the problem, and ask your client to please consult the End User Licence Agreement. Of course, it is not uncommon in corporations to find that there is no understanding (outside the IT Department) that type product is subject to licence and that, if tampered with e.g. in a primitive font editor or in a professional fond editor used primitively, can become corrupt whereby warrant is forfeit.
    By the bye, the Adobe Type 1 font program dictionary format is a dinosaur in the family of reprosauria.
    Also be very, very, very careful with Linotype. Under Heidelberg, and under the current owners, the company has mass manufactured and mass marketed type product not only in Adobe Type 1 format, but also in TrueType and OpenType format that overrides the source character string. In professional prepress in Germany it is considered that under German law customers can claim the cost of the type product.
