Fonts not showing up in Illustrator CS2 on Windows 7

So here's what's happening. Since I installed Illustrator CS2 on a new computer running Windows 7 (please no lectures on how I should switch to Mac), certain fonts aren't showing up. They're installed and work fine in other programs, including Photoshop. And I have bought and installed new fonts that work fine. But when I tried to find, for example, Frutiger, which I use a lot, it didn't show up on the font list. BUT when I open a file that contains Frutiger, it reads the font fine and then it shows up in the list (only the versions that were in the document, not the entire family). But the next time I open Illustrator it's no longer there.
Has anyone run across this problem before? I had no problems on Windows XP, so I'm guessing it's Windows 7 issue, but I thought I'd try here anyway.
Thanks.

It's probably an issue with conflicting font names and font grouping information as in how it is embedded in the file vs. the local font names. I don't think you can fix this easily, but you should definitely investigate, whether you are using the latest version of the fonts in question...

  • Chinese font not showing up in Illustrator

    Greetings, I am having a problem getting a font to show up in Illustrator (and every Adobe app) but it appears just fine in Word. The font is located here:
    http://www.ibiblio.org/chinesehistory/contents/08fea/c02.html and is called "HanDing-CS" (HDZB_10.zip), here is a direct link to it from that page:
    http://www.ibiblio.org/chinesehistory/contents/08fea/c02files.01fon/HDZB_10.zip
    Could someone see if it works in their Illy, and if not, any idea why?
    Thanks all

    The blurb on that page says that they are specifically encoded using the Asian version of TrueType, meaning they would require the system to be set to an Asian region and have the default non-ASCII encoding set accordingly to render everywhere. I can't get it to render any glyphs here on my German system except for the generic placeholders or the substitution font (Times). I doubt this will ever work without changing the system language setup, but of course feel free to experiment with the various glyph substitution and text replacment options in AI in the prefs and character palettes.

  • Fonts Not Showing Up In Illustrator CS5.1

    Hi there,
         Would anyone be able to help me, my fonts that are all installed to my computer and that are showing up in Photoshop are not showing up in Illustrator.
    I have read a few forums on this topic but none seemed helpful. They basicly said to install your fonts or that illustrator has a font limit so you are out of luck.
    Which I am hoping is not true.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Clear the font cashes and see here

  • Font not showing up in Photoshop CS4 for Windows

    I have fonts that I've installed in both my Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs.  They show up in the Control Panel - Fonts and open, they show up in Word, but do not show up in Photoshop CS4.  I see in the CS4 Mac forums that there is a way to register a font in CS4, but I can find nothing on doing that on a Windows PC.  Can anyone help?

    Adobe programs are sensitive to font issues, and one, the Titler in Premiere, is the most sensitive. This ARTICLE was written primarily for Titler, BUT translates to PS too. Often, a corrupt, or poorly-designed font will crash Titler, where that same font will usually just fail to display in PS, though it might cause hangs. Tracking down the problem font is outlined in the above article.
    However, even if a font is not corrupt, or bad, it just might not display properly in some Adobe programs. I found that Isabelle and Isabella (two different fonts, with similar names) and from several foundaries, just do not display in Photoshop, or Illustrator. They do not crash the program, or cause a hang, but they obviously have an issue, and just will not display. They also do not crash Titler, but do not display.
    Other fonts, such as the older DejaVu, installed with OpenOffice, would crash Titler. I do not have that font, but do understand that Oracle has rewritten it, so that it now works OK.
    Good luck, and it could well be that your problem font(s) can be replaced by a better one, that has similar characteristics, or can be replaced by the same font, but from another foundary.

  • Fonts NOT showing up in Illustrator but are in Fireworks (CS3)

    Hi,
    I have the CS3 package and it works great. However, I have a load of fonts on my system that are not appearing in the fonts menu in Illustrator CS3. I checked if Fireworks CS3 was picking them up and it is...this is great, but why not in Illustrator??
    I also checked Photoshop, and they don't show there either. This is really weird. These are only basic fonts like "Helvetica" etc.
    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated on how to resolve this.
    I am using Vista 64 and the CS3 suite.
    Thanks again,
    Mikey

    Along with Mikey, I have a large number of fonts loaded but, when looking at them in the font list (with 'Preview' turned on), only about half of them actually display a font...the rest are blank. When I apply the 'blank' fonts to text, nothing appears. When I apply a functioning font that does show a preview, it looks fine. Maybe these are related issues?

  • Newly installed Font not showing up in Illustrator. Can anyone shed some light as to why?

    Hello All,
    I've recently installed .otf version of New Century Schoolbook into FontBook. It's working fine in all my other Adobe programs (CS6 CC) but for some reason, it just doesn't seem to want to work inside of Illustrator.
    Can anyone give me a hand getting this font up and running?
    Running Mac OSX 10.7
    Ai CS6 - Up to date
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Jakob

    Have a feeling the alphabetical order may strange like mine on that font. Did they tag the menu name to have Adobe bur invisible, not sure.  Also Check for the calssic menu name not matching font name of "ITC New Century Schoollbook".

  • Fonts not showing up in InDesign CC 64bit

    I find it extremely difficult to believe that Adobe have not found a solution to the issue of installed fonts not showing up in InDesign. If anybody has found a solution that does not include the "rewriting" of font types. Please assist. We specialize in Brand Management, and it becomes extremely challenging when Adobe InDesign does not show up the installed font in order to ensure Brand Management :/

    POSSIBLE SOLUTION
    I'm not sure if this is the cause for anyone else, but I had the same symptoms--almost no fonts showing up in InDesigns Font dropdown options.
    THE SOLUTION:  The new version of ID has two "font filter toggle button". They are the "Apply Favorite Filter", and "Apply Typekit Filter". It seem that in my install, the Typekit filter was on by default, which makes it so that the Font list only displays those fonts that originate from Typekit, as opposed to the thousand you have on your hard drive.
    Click the toggle to turn off the filter and --zowee! All your fonts come right back.
    I hope this helps some of you. It would also explain why people on both Macs and Windows boxes are having this issue.
    Best,
    Lance

  • Fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

    fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

  • Hindi font not show in Pagemaker

    Hindi font not show in Pagemaker

    Pagemaker has limited font support and will not be able to handle Hindi. There was a middle eastern version back in the day, nut I'm not sure if it supported hindi. Indesign and maybe some 3rd part plugins would be your best bet.

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

    I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it.
