Installed fonts not showing up in Font Book or other apps

I am having an issue where fonts will install, but not show up in Font Book.
I go into Font Book, go to File > Add Fonts..., navigate to a font file and click Open, the validating and installing windows will flash by, but the font will not appear in the list of All Fonts. The file will show up in ~/Library/Fonts/, but not in Font Book or any other apps.
Any clues as to what the issue is and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I had thought of that, but they literally are nowhere to be found in the All Fonts list. I've looked through the entire list, as well as searching for the font, but nothing.
The Windows font was a font was a completely separate family not found on my Mac at all.
I tried installing different set of fonts (ran them through the Validator and then clicking install when they all checked out), and got the following in the console:

And again, same behavior. Goes into ~/Library/Fonts, but nothing else.

  • System Fonts not showing in the font list

    After I upgraded Adobe CC 2014.3.1.44, CL78964 on my Windows 8 (64-bit) computer, none of the system fonts are listed within Muse.
    Understand two things, one. This used to work fine.  I was able to see all of the system fonts, now only the ones on this list show up.  Two, and fonts that I add via the web kit doesn't show up either.
    I have uninstalled, then reinstalled.  Nothing.  I have also looked for the elusive fonts.db, which cannot be found on my system.  Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Hi Aaron,
    Thanks for the prompt response. We are wondering if you could try a few other things that will help isolate the issue. Our theory is the issue might be related to OS user permissions.
    Run Adobe Muse CC as an Administrator
    Locate the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" shortcut icon in Windows Explorer
    Right-click the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" icon and then click "Run as administrator"
    When the "User Account Control" is displayed, do one of the following:
    If you are logged on as a standard user, or if the user account control is configured to always require credentials, enter the appropriate administrative credentials, and then click "OK"
    If you are logged on as an administrator and user account control is not configured to always require credentials, click "Yes" to start the application
    After Muse finishes launching, create a new site and inspect the font drop-down
    Verify "Local Store" folder permissions
    Open a Windows Explorer dialog
    In the address field enter "%appdata% and open the folder named "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3".The folder path should be similar to the following with <username> being the current OS user's nameC:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3
    Right-click on the folder "Local Store" and select "Properties"
    In the "Local Store Properties" tab, select "Security"
    Select the current user name from the "Group or user names" list
    Observe the section "Permissions for ...." in the "Local Store Properties" dialog. Does the user have full permissions (full control, modify, read & execute, list folder contents, read, write)?
    Do you know if the Windows OS user account you are using is an administrator or standard user on your machine? You can find out by navigating to the following in Windows Explorer and selecting "Manage User Accounts":
    Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts
    Please let me know if you need any clarification on what we are asking for.
    Thank you for your time in advance.
    Regards,
    Marc

  • Why are previously active typekit fonts not showing in Illustrator font menu?

    I have opened a file the fonts were used in previously.
    Illustrator behaves as though the fonts were never installed.

    Hello,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this! In case you weren't aware, the Creative Cloud application needs to be running on your computer in order for the fonts to be synced. This help page shows how it works:
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
    Once you have Creative Cloud running, please try turning off font sync, wait a moment, and then turn it back on.  The option to do this is under the gear icon in Preferences > Creative Cloud > Fonts ("Typekit on/off"):
    Sometimes the app just needs a fresh session for the fonts to appear again.
    If that doesn't make a difference, please send me a screenshot of the Assets > Fonts tab in the Creative Cloud desktop application and your recent sync log files to [email protected], and we will take a closer look.  Here are instructions on where to find the log files:

  • System fonts not showing in Font Book

    I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book. I cannot get the system fonts to show up in Font Book and, hence, those (System) fonts don't show in Apple apps, e.g., Safari, Grapher, Text Edit, etc., etc.
    The only way I can get the system fonts to show in apple apps it to drag the System>Library>Fonts folder to the "Collection" column onto the "Computer" collection. This is fine, but it copies the System fonts to the ComputerName>Library>Fonts folder.
    I've tried for hours to get the System fonts to show in Font Book and do it without the System fonts being copied to the Library or User folder, i.e., I want the System fonts to stay in the System fonts folder only.
    If I boot into another partition and bring up Font Book everything works as I would expect, and Font Agent Pro is not installed on that partition...
    Any Ideas?
    TIA,

    Hi PS1,
    I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book.
    Yes, in a sense. If you always open and close your fonts through FAP's interface, then it's no problem leaving Font Book on your Mac. It will simply sit there and take up a small amount of disk space.
    That said, it's still a nuisance having more than one font manager on your computer at a time. Say you disable all of the fonts in Font Book that you can. Assuming the fonts are still in the /Library/Fonts/ folder, you then turn them on and off with FAP. The problem then is which orders are the applications going to believe? Are the fonts active, according to FAP? Or inactive, according to Font Book?
    Also, if you double click on any font to quick activate it, both FAP and Font Book will activate the font. So you will find yourself confused fairly often when you deactivate the font in FAP, but they still keep showing up in your applications as active. That would be because Font Book is still holding it open.
    So if FAP is going to be your main font manager, then copy Font Book off to another disk for safe keeping (so you don't have to use Pacifist or an OS install to get it back on your system if you need, or want to), and then remove it from your hard drive.
    Definitely don't remove the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder! If you remove Lucida Grande from its default location in any way, you will lose control of your desktop. The only way I can think that Taavi managed to accomplish this was moving files around booted to an external drive, or from another Mac via FireWire Target Mode. It's impossible to do on the same drive your booted to. You'll lose control of the desktop every time if you remove Lucida Grande. Although Taavi may have made his/her copy to the /Library/Fonts/ folder. That at least would still leave an active copy of Lucida Grande somewhere, but I highly recommend against that sort of handling of the system fonts.

  • Fontbook activated Fonts not showing up in CS4 apps

    I have a relatively brand new MacBook Pro (3 months) with a clean install of CS4. Until recently I was only using Web standard fonts so did not notice this problem.
    Fonts I open in Fontbook do not show up in any of the CS4 apps. Searched the Apple and Adobe forums and did not find a solution that did not involve either buying a third party app or copying the fonts into the individual app folders.
    The laptop came pre-installed with Snow Leopard and CS4 was a new purchase so downgrading is not an option.
    Thanks for your help.

    yep... activated the fonts before the apps... Helvetica Neue was the one I had just opened/needed... MrsEaves was one I had opened a while ago... both ps1 fonts... neither showing up in InDesign.
    and now for the weird part... after fighting with it for 3+ hours on Sunday (yesterday) and finally giving up and posting the question to this forum... I open up InDesign just now and they're all showing up. No idea why, or what has changed. The only thing I did differently was actually shut down my laptop instead of just restarting it... that must have made a difference somehow.
    Thanks for offering to help.

  • 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.

    Thanks for all your help over the last week or so   The font Miriam is very close to Helvetica Neue so I stopped trying to get Illy to recognise it and used Helvetica.

  • 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 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.

  • Activated fonts not found in the font list.

    A constant problem - active fonts not found in the font list.
    And often when I can find trouble fonts, they're not correctly alphabetically ordered. I understand this may be the fault of the font author - not saving the correct screen name for the font so it matches it's actual name.
    Here's a strange case - Homestead. An approach to typography I've never seen before - you're meant to layer up multiple instances of the same text object and alter it's subset of the Homestead family. But activate the whole family and you'll never find more than one of it's family members at a time. Activate just one and you'll find it (not in alphabetical order, though). Deactivate that one and activate another - now you'll find it. This makes it's very cumbersome to use the font as intended. What is Aunt Illy doing here and why?
    will I ever get along with fonts . . .

    You have a font conflict on your machine. Clear your font cache, you must have another font conflicting. The whole family loads for me, and shows in Illustrator.
    There are many products to clear your cache the one below is free for mac

    You can also find and delete all your .lst files, or use font doctor or Font Explorer X Pro

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

  • Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

    why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

    No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can.  The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
    Thanks
