Font problem in photoshop

I have purchased Adobe Woodtype ornaments font package. The font will function in In Ddesign CS 3, but will not in Photoshop CS 3 even though the font is listed in the font directory in photoshop.
Will this font function in Photoshop and Illustrator, and if so, how do I activate it?
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.5)

As nobody else has come forward with an idea on the matter You might try the Typography Forum:

But You haven’t actually provided much information – is the Font Type1, TrueType, … and how did You install it?

Font problem in Photoshop CS5 ?

If i open my psd in CS4 and try to edit it it's ok, the Arial font doesn't change, but when i try in CS5, it's another story. The same font looks much compress.
Can somebody explain what's the problem here ?

I am sorry for your inconvenience.
Yes, we already received kerning problem (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2819866).
This issue may be solved if you change:
- Font anti-aliasing NONE to Sharp/Crisp/Strong/Smooth
- Fractional Widths to System Layout (Character panel > show more option)
Hope this helps.

Photoshop CS6 Font problems

I am experiencing an intermittent problem in Photoshop CS6. I have over 500 fonts loaded on my IMac. I'll be working on a project file and when I go to add text, the drop down menu will only show about a third of my fonts instead of showing the complete list. The only way to correct this problem is to shut down Photoshop and reboot my computer. Most of the time this will give me a menu showing all of the fonts. I have had this Mac for over two yeas and have not had such a problem while using CS5. Is this a bug in Photoshop or do I have other issues ? I have downloaded the latest Photoshop updates.
Equipment: IMac 27 with 3.06 dual core processor and 12 gig of ram. I am running Os 10.6.8.
As this is happening more frequently and has become very frustrating, any help would be appreciated.

Since you already said that you have downloaded the latest Photoshop upgrades (http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates ), Then I will forward you to the next possible solution.
This would be to turn font preview off in Photoshop's preferences:
In Photoshop CS6:
Choose Type > Font Preview Size.
Select None.
Another solution is to turn off the following fonts:
The following fonts are known to cause problems when used in Photoshop:
Bustle (Mac OS only)
21kannmbn_ttf
GURAKH_S.TTF
JH_TITLES.TTF
SCREEN__.TTF
SEVESBRG.TTF
SF Tattle Tales Condensed.ttF
ZEROGEBI.TTF
Zippy.ttf
Haettenschweiler (Photoshop CS4 when run as a 64-bit application on Windows only)
Finally, another option is to Validate all the fonts through the Font Book Mac Os Application:
If you have a third-party font management program, such as Suitcase Fusion 2, there is sometimes a tool in your application that validates fonts. (For example, Font Doctor ships as a part of Suitcase Fusion 2.) Use this type of application as your first choice.
If you use a tool to validate your fonts, but the problem recurs, it's possible that the tool did not successfully validate your fonts. In this case, follow the steps in Solution 4 below to check for damaged fonts and to reset your font caches.
To validate your fonts through Font Book:
Choose Applications > Font Book.
Choose All Fonts in the Collection column.
Select the top most font in the Font column.
Use the Down Arrow on the keyboard to select the first font, then hold the key down to scroll through all your fonts.
If Font Book crashes, restart Font Book, and scroll through the fonts one by one to determine which font caused the crash.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.5.x), Ctrl-click on any fonts that are problematic, and choose to Disable that font family.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.6.x), Ctrl-click on any fonts that are problematic, and choose to Remove that font family.
I grabbed all these from Adobe Help, which offer a few other options you might want to explore if these don't help you.

Font / text edit problem in photoshop CS6

Hi there,
I have a strange text edit problem in Photoshop CS6 running on Mavericks.
Every time I use the text-tool in PS, write a sentence, mark it and change something like color, font size etc., the marked text vanishes.
I have to "undo" the last step and the changed text appears again.
Every time!
I have a clean installed CS6 with no plugins and no other than system fonts installed.
Everything on a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5
Any clues? Thanks.

Do you have the latest updates for photoshop cs6?
You can use Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to check if there are any available.
Also, if you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6, you can see the Photoshop Version in the top line.
You should be on version 13.0.6
See if turning off Dictation solves the issue.
Go to System Preferences ---> Dictation and Speech -----> select OFF radio button .

Photoshop CS (1) and font problems (Mac OS X Leopard)

A friend of mine has Photoshop CS (1) on his G5 (running on Leopard) and he says that he has font problems ONLY IN PHOTOSHOP. Bad fonts, missing fonts. Now, whether he uses a font management software or not is not important since that problem does not happen in other programs (like Illustrator). Are there issues between Photoshop CS and fonts.
Thanks

CS1 works on my friend's desktop which runs on Leopard but it doesn't seem to work on a Macbook which runs on Leopard. We've installed it and it's reported that installation is complete but upon opening the program, an error message states that certain files had not been installed and to reinstall the program to recover them. We've tried reinstalling multiple times but to no avail. Any explanation?

Problem with Photoshop hangs/freezing for users on a terminal server

Dear Forum!
I'm having some trouble with Photoshop freezing over a period of ~20 minutes when you (1.) user the eraser with special brushes and (2.) copy and paste material from a PDF to Photoshop. As you might notice by the size of this post i'm getting quite depserate over here and need some help.
A Little background information...
Photoshop CS6 is installed on a terminal server with ~25 Active users where 3 of them are using Photoshop.
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2012 R2.
There are no additional add-ons just a plain installation of Photoshop in that matter.
The server uses 40-60% of the memory most of the time (mostly a bit less, some times a bit more but never 100%) and 40% of the CPU.
There's enough space free on the disc.
The problem in detail...
There are two occasions where the freezing has occured most of the time. After it hangs for the first time, it will happen everytime you do any of the operations over a period of ~20 minutes and it's Mutual for all users. When it freezes, the whole terminal session freezes but the program i still responding (it's not getting set to "not responding") when viewed from Another user through the task manager. Ending the process as an administrator sometimes work, although from the moment i end he proces it takes about 10-60 seconds Before the program actually Closes and the user gets back Control. The easiest thing to do most of the time is if an administrator forces them to log out.
1. The first occasion is when you use the eraser with a brush that's not standard but manually added. The names of the brush packages used are:
Extacy__Elemental
KKC_Fractal
Kornkid's_Grunge_Set
and the problem is with all brushes inside those packages. The way i evoke the problem is the following:
     1. Start Photoshop
     2. Create new
     3. Fill the background with any color
     4. Select the eraser tool
     5. Change the brush to one of the ones mentioned above
     6. Program freezes
2. The second scenario when the problem occurs is when the users copy something from a PDF to Photoshop. The way i evoke this is:
     1. Open a PDF
     2. Select area and copy it
     3. Open Photoshop
     4. Create new
     5. Paste into Photoshop
     6. Program freezes
Solutions we have tried so far...
I've been working on this for several round now and i'm not entirely sure on what exactly i have done. I will try and do the following solutions once more but i'm pretty sure that i have tried most of them.
Update graphic card drivers.
Resetting all Tools:
     1. Select options for a tool
     2. choose "Reset all Tools"
Resetting presets:
     1. Hold ctrl + shift + alt while Photoshop is starting
     2. select "yes"
Tested if it matters if i have a pen connected or not, which it doesn't.
Removed the special brushes (but it still freezes when copy/paste from PDF)
Removed "save in background" and "automatically save recovery information" options
Updated to latest version.
Turned off OpenGL
Solutions i haven't, but will try...
Reinstall Photoshop
Change font preview size
     1. Go to "type"
     2. select "Font prview size"
     3. select "none"
Delete system font cache
Close all Adobe applications including the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\Appdata\Local
Delete the *FNTCACHE*.DAT or *FontCache*.dat files.
NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates various numbers, letters, or words, such as FontCache-S-1-5-21.dat or COFFfntCache.dat.
Delete Photoshop font cache
Exit Photoshop and the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to the appropriate folder
Photoshop CS6 and earlier.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
Windows 7: \Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe
Photoshop CC and CC 2014
Windows 7 and 8: \Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC or CC 2014
     3. Delete the TypeSupport folder (Photoshop CS6 and earlier) or the CT Font Cache folder (Photoshop CC and CC 2014), and empty the trash.

Hi Mylenium!
Thanks for your reply but since the users work on the terminal server via remote dektop the only data sent through the network is a "Picture" of what is happening on the server. All the operations are handled on and by the server and nothing is executed on the users local machine. Also all files are stored on the server therefore the load on the network is minimum.
We are not the first in the World to run this setup and i know that this is possible to do since i've read about others running PS like this.
Kind Regards,

Problems with photoshop CC on a windows 8

I have downloaded the trial of CC on Windows 8 and the photoshop does not work. I saw there is a lot of people with the same problem, and i've tried the solutions in this forum and it is still not working. I'm willing to buy the photoshop + lightroom association, but i'm not sure it's going to work. Is there a real solution for this problem or photoshop cc does not work on a windown 8? Tks

Hi Rfrazao,
To begin with, can you please try and disable the Graphics Card that you have. This should transfer the display to onboard graphics and your font size would become big. Post this, can you please try and launch Photoshop again?
If it works fine, that would mean that there is an issue with the Graphics card driver and that needs to be updated.
Cheers,

Installing & Using a Font in Adobe Photoshop - Kindly Help me

Hi Friends !
I hope all is well and great !
My name is Kush and I'm from India.
Friends, I have Windows XP and I desperately need to use this Font called "Arsalannian" The problem is that it is not compatible with Windows XP and so I'm not able to install it in Windows. I need to use this font in Adobe Photoshop.
The font can be found here - [url]http://www.sofontes.com.br/en/Arslannian/download/1866[/url]
Friends, is there any way that I can use this font in Adobe Photoshop Directly. Is there any way that I can type the Title (just 2 words) that I want in this Font, in some other application (is there any such online or OS independent text application that does not require the font to be installed in Windows) and then copy and paste it in Adobe Photoshop ?
I do have a scan of the Title that I want to use as a Jpeg Image, but I want it as a Text.
Will be a great help if you can kindly guide me on how to do this or any way to use / load the font in Adobe Photoshop. Please help me Friends.
Thanks and Regards
Kush

that font file looks like it's corrupted. Not much you can do about it other than trying to download it from another location. (things like this happen from time to time with free fonts)

Font issue in Photoshop CS2

Hi!
I just encountered a rather annoying problem I don't know how to solve. So far I couldn't find any solution on forums either.
Recently I got the new Intel-based MacBook Pro. Although I had known about the problems beforehand as well as about perfermance issues I now encountered a new problem:
My Photoshop CS2 doesn't render or save fonts properly anymore. They all look wrong.
This problem occured a few days ago and it's only when I create Text layers in Photoshop. When I import Illustrator or PDF files I have no problem but those are pixels or shape objects. The other programmes work fine, no problems with fonts there.
Does anyone know how I can solve this? It's a very big and urgent problem for me as I use Photoshop everyday! Thanks!

The fonts look pixelated and jagged. Even when I print or save them and open that PSD document on a different computer they look that way. I only experience this problem in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are fine. I work on a MacBook Pro and run Mac OS 10.4.8 on it.
So far I tried to delete the Font Cache as well as Preferences and did a Repair Disk Permissions. No luck.
Not sure whether the driver for my scanner (Canon) that I had downloaded and installed might have cause these problems as this problem appeared afterwards.
I did a search for this problem but couldn't find any other suggestion then to reinstall Photoshop under a new user. Unfortunately I don't really see this as a real solution to the problem.

None of my fonts install into photoshop cs5. why?

I had my computer repaired a few months ago by Mac Medics and ever since my photoshop will not install fonts. Its photoshop cs5. I have an osx 10.6.8 system. The fonts install fine in all other adobe and microsoft programs. I tried doing what several of the forums online suggested and nothing is working. Am I missing something? I have reinstalled photoshop. I have done the Application Support route, I have emptied caches. I'm trying to fix it myself before i call MMac Medics. Ideas?

JesseShell wrote:
Hi Joe. Yes I did that. In fact, yesterday I did it again but I completely uninstalled the whole Creative Suite and disabled it. I reinstalled it. This time I at least found that the Adobe font folder was not empty as it had been before I uninstalled CS. The programs still don't grab the font from my font library like they should but I was at least able to make aliases as before and drop them into the folder. That worked. However, they should be loading directly into the applications.
Most "well behaved" (designed to Apple standard coding practices) applications use the fonts directly out of OS X's own font library, but Photoshop has some old code that builds and uses its own font library. One of Adobe's contributions to their reputation of being a memory hog. IIRC Photoshop Elements and InDesign both have a much newer code base and use the system font library. Why this is creating a problem for you only Adobe knows for sure.
JesseShell wrote:
Another issue I've had is that nearly a dozen times over the last three months I get a grey'd out screen and in 50 different languages it tells me to power my computer off. I need to take it back to Medics. Maybe they can fix both issues. For now, I can work with it. Thanks for all the input.
That, my friend, is called a full blown kernel panic and those can be a real bear to diagnose unless they are reliably repeatable. While kernel panics can be caused by software problems the most common causes are a bad CPU, a bad logic board, or bad RAM. I hope you either have Applecare or Mac Medics has you covered under a service warranty on their work as a new CPU or logic board can get pricey!

Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

Hello everyone,
I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
that had minor errors.
I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
this font as well as mine and many others.
10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR: The font system thinks
the font
file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
is active, but the file no longer exists!
Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
Any ideas of how to fix this problem?
Thanks

I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

How to uninstall Snow Leopard? major font problems in iWork, iLife

All iWork and iLife apps have shocking font problems... so much so that I need to uninstall Snow Leopard and wait for Apple to sort it out. Does anyone know the best way? And how is it possible that these problems are occurring with Apple's inhouse software? Other stuff seems to be working OK so far for the most part. For a bit more detail on my problems, including sample images:
http://bit.ly/309G0o

Snow lizard cost me $27.000.00 in unusable fonts. We installed snow lizards (what I'm calling it now) and lost 934 fonts. Say 40 were bad fonts and 896 were type 1 postscript. When I explained to the tech person how big this was to the print community, he had no clue. - I'm still waiting to hear back. I have a case number but now I read from another post they knew Snow Lizard would do this. At 30.00 per font that is almost $27,000 to replace what they thought wasn't important. But in the print world of design this is huge. Every layout and ad that needs an update - which take a few minutes is a whole rework. They have no clue what business a mac computer is in or they don't see us as important.
I did find if I load those fonts or the font missing into the InDesign font folder I can get the old ad to make it to pdf. But photoshop and illustrator, I'm screwed. And if I didn't outline the type in illustrator - it's gone. I asked the tech guy if I can go back, and undo this slimy lizard and he said probably not if we do backups. We do backups every hour - this is the print business. I feel forsaken. I've been with apple for so many years.

Fireworks 8 on OS X font problems and Solutions

Hi All
I had a problem with my Fireworks 8 and being able to switch
fonts. The list would scroll very slowly and sooner or later crash
Fireworks. If I tried to open an PSD file with text in it I would
crash not only my Fireworks program but the entire computer as
well. For the most part I have resolved this problem and have to
give a big thumbs up for a free program called "Font Nuke". You can
Google for it and I am in no way affiliated with this program or
it's agents in any way. Just a Fireworks user desperate for a fix.
After running this program to clean my font caches and rebooting my
Fireworks now works almost perfectly including opening Photoshop
CS2 PSD files containing text. The only font problem I have not
cured by this quick fix is for some reason one font "Brush Script
MT" will not work. It also does not give a preview of this font.
The font does work in other programs including photoshop. I have
ran all the tests in "Font Book" on it and nothing seems to be
wrong with the font Brush Script MT.
My platform is OS X 10.49 on G5 MAC with 1.5 Gb ram. I hope
this might be of use to others having font problems here, but also
hoping someone might have an idea of why the one font does not work
with Fireworks 8.
Dave

Tazmun,
Have you tried a search within Fireworks 8' Techdocs through
Fireworks Support site?
If still problem, let us know. We can try and give you a tip
or suggestion to find some solution for you.
If I remember this correctly, not all of fonts are equally
installed into Font folder on your Mac. There are a couple of
Library folders on your System folder, plus users' Library folder
and sometimes inside software developer's application folders. It
varies from software developers to others. I don't recall that I
run into font problems with Fireworks or any other Adobe
applications on my Mac. let me take a look at Brush Script MT on my
Fireworks and see what happens.
