Fonts missing in Photoshop CS5

I have many DVD case templates I created with Photoshop CS2. I now have Photoshop CS5. I am opening these DVD case templates with PS CS5. There have been several instances where the fonts I used in CS2 is not available in CS5. Is it possible for me to import these fonts into PS CS5? If so, how?
Thanks,
Angela

One follow-up question concerning the "missing fonts" issue.....
With Photoshop CS5, if the font is missing the program will alert you. Because of these alerts, I was able to determine which fonts were missing in my Photoshop projects and install the missing fonts.
Unfortunately, Premiere Pro CS5 will use the "next best" font if a font is missing. Therefore, I was trying to determine which fonts were "incorrect" within my APP CS5 projects and install the missing fonts accordingly.
My question.....I have approx 360 fonts from my XP computer. Would there be any harm in installing all of these fonts on my Windows 7 computer, to make sure I cover my bases? Currently, there are approx 300 fonts on my Windows 7 computer.
I have verified that if I try to install a font that is currently on my Windows 7 computer, I will get a prompt asking if I want to replace the existing font. Obviously in this case, I would not replace an Windows 7 font with a Windows XP font.
Take care,
Angela

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?

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.

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!

Helvetica regular font missing in Photoshop CS3, but not in CS5 on the same computer

I have both Photoshop CS3 and CS5 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system. Photoshop CS5 has two Helvetica fonts: one TrueType and one Type 1. The TT version only offers italic and bold italic styles. The T1 font offers the full suite of bold, italic, bold italic (or oblique), and medium (or regular). This seems odd, but it's sufficient. Photoshop CS3, on the same computer, only offers me the Helvetica TT font, with just the two styles mentioned above. Why can't CS3 see the T1 Helvetica? Why does the TT Helvetica only show me two styles? In case it's relevant, I believe the Type 1 version is the only one I deliberately installed, and I recently upgraded to a 2010 version of the font made available by Adobe (to resolve another issue with Microsoft Word 2010).
Thanks in advance!

There is by default no Helvetica on PCs. Wherever those fonts come from, is some place else. Either another program installed them or you bought the font fron Linotype. The latetr is doubtful, of course, in light of what you stated. Aside from that you may wish to check your Adobe font directory (C:\Programm Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\Fonts) vs. your system font directory. For CS3 this would be relevant. Typefaces not showing up usualyl means that multiple fonts occupy the same name or the font system can't figure out things for otehr reasons...

Fonts malfunctioning in Photoshop CS5

Hi, I've got a problem with certain fonts in Photoshop CS5 running on Windows 7. Normally in the drop-down menu of the fonts list, there's an "O" or "TT" symbol next to each font to signify if it's OpenType or TrueType respectively. However, there are five fonts that don't have either symbol:
Courier Regular
FixedSys
Small Fonts
System Bold
Terminal
Whenever I select these fonts in Photoshop, I get an error message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error". This is particularly annoying, because it interrupts me scrolling through the fonts list. I tried hiding these fonts in Windows Explorer, but even though they don't appear in Microsoft Office programs, they still show up in Photoshop. I want to delete them, but apparently they are protected system fonts. So I followed this guide to take ownership of the fonts: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html
After I had reassigned ownership of the fonts to me, I was able to delete Courier Regular, Small Fonts and System Bold. However I can't delete FixedSys because I get an error message saying "FixedSys (Set #6) cannot be deleted because it is in use." (No, it's not!) And for some reason I can't reassign ownership for Terminal because its Properties aren't available. Even if I hold Alt and double-click on the font (which is the shortcut for opening Properties), nothing happens. How do I delete these two malfunctioning fonts from my computer?

I strongly recommend you try to get to the bottom of why you're having a "malfunction" rather than try to delete protected system fonts. Windows protects those fonts for a reason, and trying to remove them WILL net you other problems.
For what it's worth, the fonts you have named all work great on my Windows 7 system in Photoshop, so there's some specific problem with your setup (Photoshop? Your system?) that you really need to solve.
Not having seen the particular problem you're reporting, I don't really know how to tell you to get more information, but I definitely advise you to try to solve that problem directly and not delete the fonts.
Because you've already removed the above fonts, I suspect at some point you may need to reinstall windows (although it may have restored them automatically). I recommend you run the command SFC /SCANNOW /VERIFYONLY on your system (from a CMD window started as Administrator). Windows will tell you whether it is in need of repair.

How to prevent auto font substitution in Photoshop CS5?

Previously in CS4 you could open a PSD with missing fonts and have the file still open and display the font properly on screen. Only if you tried to edit that type layer would it auto subsitute and force you to update the font. Now in CS5, just opening the PSD auto substitutes all missing fonts to Myriad. How do you prevent that from happening? It's really irratating. Thanks all that respond.

Gotta agree with screenname_1001 here.
I've seen several files open, warn me that a font is missing giving "OK" or "Cancel" options. Upon clicking "OK" the font is automatically substituted with Myriad Pro and there's no way of knowing what the original font was.
I've opened files in Graphics Converter or Preview to simply figure out what the font name was.
I have not ruled out font management software as the issue though. This may simply be a symptom of having FontAgent Pro installed.

Liquify missing on Photoshop CS5. How do I get it back?

I've been using Liquify for a long time in Photoshop CS5, Version 12.0.4 x64 and it is no longer available.
I need it. My computer: Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I called Customer Service at Photoshop and they could not help.

Kelly, You have been of great help.
I decided to reinstall Photoshop CS5, and Liquify is available.
Now I got a new problem: the version of Photoshop is 12.0. Therefore, I am missing the upgrades. I wonder where can I get the upgrades?

Embedding fonts in Bridge (Photoshop CS5)

Hi folks!
I'm sorry for posting but I still have trouble with creating PDF via Bridge.
I have sveral PSD-Files (CS5 made) using several image- and textlayers.
Now I want to create multipage-PDF using Bridge that comes with PS CS5.
Works fine so far but Bridge does not embed those fonts used in the PSD!
Seems to me Bridge just merges all layers to one pixelbased image and saves it in PDF-format.
But that's no good deal!
In CS2 there was a much better solution in PS2 allowing to create multipaged PDF with embedded fonts.
Is there any chance to embed fonts with Bridge?
Plz don't tell me to use Acrobat or InDesign because I'm only using PS CS5.
Thx!

Components seem to be missing from Photoshop CS5 since de-bugging PC by shop

Since my Windows-7 PC went to the shop for a clean up following some suspect virus my CS5 Photoshop seem to have some components missing.
I can get into CS5 (I had upgraded from CS3 earlier in the year and now I can't get into CS3 even though the icon is still there.) and upload a photo and use the basic tools but I can't use a lot of the ACTIONS: i.e. I get error messages like The command "Feather" is currently not available or "The command Channel Mixer is currently not available"

Sorry - This should be a better quality copy. The ACTION stops when it gets to step 2 - the FEATHER
Someone at my camera club suggested I was running out of RAM - I have 6GB so that shouldn't have been an issue.

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.

Loaded font missing in Photoshop CS6

Loaded font active by opening file but while editing suddenly not active anymore. Photoshop therefore gives an error and refuses to save the file.
Fonts are not used in smart layers.
Working with Mac OS 10.6.8 and for fontmanagement Linotype FontExplorer X pro 3.5.4.
Please, any suggestions?

Right, i'll do that. Problem is with multiple fonts, so... I thought maybe using windows truetype and other fonts? It looks to me there is a font id conflict. Also by researching the adobe forums I see the same problem mostly by windows users.
Problem is that the fontmanagement program after checking nothing says about fontconflicts.

3d menu missing in Photoshop cs5 extended

Hello I seem to have a problem the menu for the 3d in missing fro the menu up top need help to find out why

Verify that your license really is for the Extended variant. If you're sure you have a valid, legal Photoshop Extended license, you'll likely need to call Adobe support to work out the problem.
I used to think the 3D menu was dependent on having sufficient GPU hardware, but I have been told that's not the case. But just in case, check your Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog. Do you have the Use OpenGL Drawing setting?

Arial Unicode MS font doesn't appear in PhotoShop CS5 for MAC

Hello, I'm having a problem with Arial Unicode MS font in MAC. The other apps such as TextEdit, Pixelmator... can see the font but not PhotoShop CS5 and the other apps in the CS5 suite (Flash, Illustrator...)
Does anyone have the same problem with me? Could you help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Chinh Do

Check the entire font menu, all the way to the bottom. The font may not be in the alphabetical order you expect, but towards the end of the list, among the Asian fonts or so.

Replace missing font with font of my choice in Photoshop CS5

I'm using Photoshop CS5. How can I replace all instances of a missing font with a font of my choice?

I am having the same problem. From what I read around the web, there is supposed to be a dialogue box which opens to ask which font you want to use. I don't get a dalogue box, it simply replaces the missing fonts automatically with Myriad Pro without asking which font I want to use. If anyone knows how to get the dialogue box to appear, I'd appreciate the help.
I am using CC.
Thanks!
S.
