Certain fonts not available in Photoshop

Hi,
I'm running Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on a Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8).
Some of my fonts don't appear to be available in Photoshop. I have validated all my fonts in Font Book and restarted, but no change.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks.

What are the names of those fonts?
Clearing the system font cache might fix the problem.
Quit all applications, open Terminal application (available in /Applications/Utilities), then type
atsutil databases -removeUser
followed by return.
As an alternative, place font files at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts. This is an unadvertised feature for Adobe apps to use fonts bypassing the system font machinery.

Font not available in Photoshop CS6 or Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have installed the Frutiger font family in the font library. It appears in the drop-down menu in InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. How can I make the font available in these programs?

It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!

Fonts Not Available in Photoshop CS3 (Windows 7)?

Hello,
My desktop computer crashed yesterday and I had to run out last night and pick up a new unit as I'm trying to meet a number of deadlines (and not having much luck getting the work done in my laptop).
The new computer uses Windows 7 as the Operating System. It has already presented a ton of headaches... I've already spent in excess of ten hours trying to reinstall hardware and dealing with the various quirks that arise.
The latest of these issues is that I cannot seem to access some fonts from Photoshop CS3. I'm having the same issue, to a lesser extent, in Illustrator 10.
For instance, after downloading the Helvetica and Helvetica Neue families in Windows 7, they do not appear in the Type menu in Photoshop. There are a ton of useless pre-installed fonts there, but not the ones I installed. If I try to access them from Illustrator, it displays only one weight of each typeface (for instance, it displays Helvetica Neue 65 but omits 55, 75, 95, etc....).
The issue does not occur for all fonts. For instance, I installed AvantGarde and it displays just fine. In that instance, the fonts were TrueType whereas the Helvetica font files are Type 1 font files.
Can anyone help? I've already lost a day-and-a-half of work, and can't afford to spend much more time screwing around with this nonsense.

Bill,
Thanks for your thoughtul and thorough reply.
To clarify, I do have a copy of ATM, but just have not installed it on my XP computer or this new one. It is on my Illustrator 10 install disk. Not sure if it will work on Windows 7, as Illustrator 10 would not run on the new computer until I set the compatibility to work with Vista and earlier. I suppose that I could install it and see if it works. Might be worth a shot.
I will check out the software titles you referenced.
With regard to font installation on Windows 7, there are three techniques as far as I can tell. They are:
1) Drag and drop method: Works the same as it always has. Simply drag the typefaces into the Fonts folder or Control Panel > Fonts.
2) You can navigate to where a font file is located (the desktop, for instance) and then right-click on it and choose "Install." This is what I referred to previously, and I tried it after drag-and-drop did not work.
3) For the third method (according to Windows 7 documentation I found online at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/324ecdc6-8574-4527-8099- efc430bf550f), you are supposed to be able to go into the Control Panel > Fonts, press ALT (to display the menu) and then choose File > Install New Font. You would then be prompted to navigate to the typeface you want to install. However, this option is not available on my computer. When I tried it, I can access the File menu, but "Install New Font" is not listed on the dropdown.

What language are you talking about? You might need to enable Edit/Preferences/Type/Middle Eastern and South Asian for proper display.

Roboto font not available in certain applications and Openbox menu

I have downloaded Roboto TTF font from here and saved it in ~/.fonts.
After downloading it, I ran:
$ fc-cache -vf
After that, I changed the font in lxappearance and obconf and every single application I have tried so far uses it by default now except Openbox menu (window titles seem to work just fine) and Geany.
What can I do to fix this?
I really like the font and pretty much everything runs well except those two.
Note: tried placing those files in /usr/share/fonts/local, but nothing changed.

Tried to switch fonts in terminal (rxvt-unicode) and apparently that font is not available there either.
Any ideas?

In Pages 5.2, some fonts "not available", yet present in Font Book and working in other apps

Using Pages 5.2, I open a document created in a previous version, and I get error messages about certain fonts within a font family being "not available" in OS X. However, these supposedly unavailable fonts are present in Font Book and work just fine in all other apps running on OS X. In fact, I still have the older version of Pages on my system, and it still finds the fonts without issue. The specific fonts troubling me at the moment are Myriad Pro Semibold It and Myriad Pro Cond. Pages 5.2 replaces them with Helvetica. I have wasted hours of time trying to resolve this problem, and I am at a total loss. What can I do?

Like so many other thing is is probably gone. Why not use Pages 09 that has about 100 features more than Pages 5. If you haven't deleted it it should still be in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

Fonts not available when offline

I am a creative cloud subscriber however when I'm not on the internet and trying to work I get an error that fonts are not available since I'm not connected to the creative cloud at that time. Is this bug and if so how do I resolve it?

Actually, I have found that when you disconnect form the Internet, Creative Cloud fonts become unavailable. Today, for example, I was working at my office, logged in to CC, and using Photoshop with some CC fonts. I then closed my laptop (did not log out of anything), and went to a cafe. When I opened the laptop, I was exactly where I had left off... but when I started Photoshop this time, the fonts I was using were unavailable. This does not always happen.
Now, another problem I have with CC fonts is that when I travel on business, I usually "shut down" my laptop. Then when I'm on the plane, I'll turn the laptop on and get back to work... and none of the CC fonts are available.
Overall, this is an unworkable solution for me. I can't have my designs/documents broken ever time I open them. The most embarrasing was a conference, where the document I opened up couldn't use its CC fonts and the entire presentation layout was a complete mess.
Bottom line: If you need the fonts reliably at any time (not just occasional print copy work), don't use CC fonts. They are not going to be available to you reliably.
I wish Adobe would fix this. They make it possible for me to use Photoshop for 30 days without being connected to the Internet. Why can't they do this with fonts too?

Why are some fonts not available?

I have found that there are fonts in HD>Library>Fonts that are not showing up in any Collection in Font Book and are not available in apps that I'm working with. Font Book Help does not address this problem.
Some help with this, please?
Peter

What types of fonts are they? If they're Type 1 PostScript, this may be the problem.
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

New fonts not working in photoshop...

I have installed new fonts on my mac but they will not work in Photoshop.. can somoene help me? I don't know if I have done something wrong or need to take another step.. I am running CS4 and OS 10.6.4. The message I get when I try to use a font I recently installed is "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intitalized." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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

Loaded fonts not available to apps

Running 10.6.8, using Font Agent Pro, have not had problem for past year and a half, and all of a sudden yesterday, fonts not recognized by apps. Using Quark, versions 6 - 9, Adobe Creative Suites CS3 - CS6, Word, Excel, etc. I have loaded fonts through Fontbook instead of using Font Agent Pro, I have removed caches with terminal, ran Repair Disk Permissions, Shutdown, boot in Safe Mode, everything I can think of. In Fontbook, fonts display correctly but a lot of them are not available in other Apps. For instance, Arial & Arial Bold not available, but Italic & Bold Italic are fine. I work at a commercial printer and this is killing me!

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the font installatons?

Calibri font not available in WebI

Hello All,
We are on BO XI R3. We have been using Calibri Font for all our reports built on DeskI. The same font is not available in WebI. Will it be possible for me to add this font in WebI and if yes, please let me know the procedure to do so.
Thanks in advance
Vignesh

hi,
Please login to BO Server and navigate to the below folder
Control Panel -> Fonts ->
Now verify if Calibri related fonts are available. If not, you can install the below font files from internet.
CALIBRI.TTF    for Calibri (TrueType)
CALIBRIB.TTF    for Calibri Bold(TrueType)
CALIBRIZ.TTF    for Calibri Bold Italic(TrueType)
CALIBRII.TTF    for Calibri Italic(TrueType)
Modify the following 2 files by adding tags for this new font.
1.fontalias.xml
2. i18n.xml file
Now, you should be able to see the new font in WEBI.
Regards,
Vamsee

Windows Fonts not showing in PhotoShop CS6

Newly built Windows 7 Machine, installed the fonts and they show in all office Apps but not showing in Photoshop CS6, can you tell me how to get them to appear?
Thanks

Photoshop lists all fonts that are present in 'Fonts' folder in Windows.
If PS is not listing some fonts:
Either those fonts are not located in 'Fonts' folders (Windows keeps it in a secret statsh as they're proprietary to Windows 7)
One or more of those fonts are corrupt. Adobe doesn't list corrupt fonts. In fact, often times Photoshop hangs when you have one or more corrupt/ invalid font registries on your system. Scan for corrupt fonts and remove them
Can you post the 'fonts' that are 'missing', so we can see if they have any associated known issues with Photoshop?

Single Style of Font not Available in Any Adobe Programs

I have been using Nofret for all of my business correspondence for years. All of a sudden within the last couple of weeks, one style, the Light Italic, refuses to show up in any of my Adobe programs. It is available in my Microsoft and Apple programs
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font in FontExplorer Pro, rebooting the applications...no go.
I am using CS2 on a G4 PowerPC.
Any clues as to why this single style would disappear when all of the other styles of that font are available? Can I get it back?

Ok For some reason or another 2 days ago a font by the name of QuickSand was
not appearing in my font choices through the program illustrator. So
I uninstalled the font through the font manager and then why I tried to
uninstall the font through my system folders (Windows 7) I receive a dialog
that the font was in use. That made me believe that somehow the system was
stuck on retrieving the front through illustrator (which was the last
program I used) or through the font manager or somehow the font
became corrupt. Hence, since you have already tried uninstalling the font
through the font manger and that did not work delete the front from you
system folder, but before you do I hope you have a back up of that font it
not make one first or download the font again from the net. Since you are
using a Mac and I do as well there could be three locations in which you
have chose to store your fonts at /Library/Fonts:
There's also /System/Library/Fonts.
Fonts are divided up into different folders so that Mac OS X can keep its
own collection of fonts (/System/Library/Fonts), you can install additional
fonts for all users (/Library/Fonts), and any user can have personal fonts
as well (/Users/username/Library/Fonts).
So long story short uninstall & delete the font through your font manager
and all other locations and then reinstall and of course perform a shut
down. That's what worked for me, Hope that helps

Perfectly good fonts "Not Available"

Has someone figured out the font incompatibility issues Snow Leopard seems to have with a lot of fonts that were working just fine under Leopard?
I have a great many fonts that I want to be able to use, but since my upgrade to 10.6, they are "Not Available" and refuse to be activated.
What do I have to do to get them working again?

All but one somewhat small font issue has been resolved since 10.6.3. There are two things that come to mind.
Reset Font Book. If it's database is damaged, a very common symptom of that is not being able to activate and/or deactivate fonts. Do that by restarting in Safe Mode (restart and hold down the Shift key), then restart normally. After that, all installed fonts will be active, regardless of their state beforehand. Any font sets you've created will be gone.
Or if your problem centers around Type 1 PostScript fonts:
Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Folio11 Fonts Not Compatible in Photoshop v5?

I have am having trouble with new fonts from Folio11 not being displayed on font Text menu in photoshop version 5 (I know its very old version).
I understand that photoshop v5 ascertains/borrows its font styles from Windows.
New folio11 fonts are recognised in MS Word Documents but not photoshop v5, how can I fix this small techinical issue
Regards
J

The fonts in Font Folio are OpenType fonts. Photoshop 5 (not CS5) dates back to a period of time when our applications only supported Type 1 and TrueType fonts. Photoshop's font handling has nothing to do with Windows; that is not the issue. And yes, modern versions of Microsoft Word (since at least Word 2000) do support OpenType fonts to some minimal degree.
You are not going to like this, but the only workaround is to upgrade your copy of Photoshop which was released sometime prior to 1999 if I recall correctly, prior to the release of the first OpenType CFF fonts provided by the current Font Folio.
