Missing fonts Photoshop CS3 in Win 7

Photoshop worked fine in XP Pro SP 3. I reformatted the HD and installed Win 7. I installed some postscript fonts and they don't show up in Photoshop but show up fine in Framemaker and MS Office products. Any suggestions.

Deleting the font cache files did not help, nor did copy the postscript files to Adobe's common font folder or to Photoshop's font folder. The particular font I wanted to install was Teff's trinite font, but I discovered this is a problem with any postscript files from any company (Tiro Typeworks, Monotype, etc.). I haven't seen this described with Win 7, but searching for a solution, I found that this seems to be an issue with Windows 64 bit systems (XP and Vista) and PS fonts and CS3 products. The only solutions I've found were to use otf fonts (not possible with trinite) or upgrade to CS4 (not something I plan to do, as it is too buggy in Premier, Encore, etc. and I will wait for CS5). Thanks.
The installation was directly through Win 7 "install font" option. As mentioned, these fonts work fine with Framemaker and MS Office 2007 products.

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...

Missing Fonts InDesign 5.5 WIN

InDesign 5.5 WIN create problems with the fonts when I open a file from version 5.0. The font-installation in the windows font-folder is ok. The fonts are there, but InDesign doesn´t find it. Funny: When I create a new file, I can fix the "missing" font. It works well. Where is the problem?

Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum.

Missing fonts - InDesign CS3

I've read all I could find about mssing fonts, but continue to have problems with opening InDesign files and receiving a message about a missing font(Arial Narrow).
Indesign CS3 v5.04
Two users(Administrator & a user(who has Local Administrator rights) have no problem with missing font when opening the same file.
Two different users(who both have Local Administrator rights) receive the message about missing font when opening the same file.
The PC has the font loaded in Windows,
I have copied Arial Narrow into Adobe\Indesign\Fonts directory
I have deleted all Adobe*.lst files
After the Adobe*.lst file is recreated the lst file has the specifics for Arial Narrow in the lst file.
Not sure what to try next

I didn't understand from the original message that the users were all working on the same PC. That would point away from the font problem, I think, and maybe toward a preferences corruption, though I couldn't say for sure.
Certainly I think trying the patch would be good, and yes, there may be Adobefnt*.lst files in each user profile that should be deleted (maybe that's all that's wrong). Otherwise, replacing preferences for the affected users might be in order.
On the same machine, assuming there is no problem about inidividual user customizations you don't want to share, you can copy the profile data from one user to another without problem, or you can rebuild each bad set from scratch.

Jagged Fonts, Photoshop CS3

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum.
I noticed that the fonts in Photoshop CS3 are jagged looking now, but when I first bought the computer, they were fine. I had the same problem with my Powerbook G4. Now I'm limited to which fonts I use in my designs because many of them don't look good anymore.
Anyone know what's causing this and if there's a solution to this issue? I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!~

check font smoothing in system prefs>application. I have CS4 and have it set to STRONG and 4.

3d options missing in Photoshop cs3 extended

CS3 was still available in Feb 2009. I know because I bought it from adobe at that time from their website. I have the same problem. It doesn't work. The support person told me it doesn't work in Leopard, which was the current OS for Macs. I'm thinking they shouldn't be selling the software if it doesn't work, but apparently they don't care.
Not only are you making very dubious claims, you are posting them in the wrong forum!

Missing fonts from CS3 in CS5.5, ex Adobe Rekord. How do I export them?

Just upgraded from CS3 (windows version) to CS5.5 (Mac OS version).
In CS3 we created alot of nice artwork with Font built in InDesign.
Now when we migrated to CS5.5 the Fonts are not possible to import into Mac OS.
Has anyone a solution to this?
Thank you so much for your time

Thank you so much for your quick answer.
Instead of giving you an exact answer which fonts we are using and missing, I will give you all that we are missing:
They are all Adobe Fonts:
Alleycat ICG, ITC American Typrewriter, Americana, ITC Anna, Baker Signet, ITC New Bakerville, Bell Gothic, ITC Benguiat, Bickley Script, Birch, Blackoak, ITC Bookman, Caslon, Century Old Style, ITC Cheltenham, ITC Eras, ITC Espirit, ITC Fenice, ITC Flora, Fritz Quadrata, ITC Galliard, Adobe Garamond, ITC Giovanni, Isabella, ITC Kabel, Kaufmann, ITC Korinna, LetterGothic (T1), ITC Machine, Madrone, Myriad, Ocra, ITC Officina Sans, ITC Officina Serif, Orator, P22 Corinthia, Parisian, Park Avenue, Poplar, Rekord, Serpentine, ITC Slimbach, ITC Tiepolo, Trajan, ITC Veljovic, Wiesbaden Swing, Willow, Adobe Wood type
Good to know:
the fonts are not stored in C:/windows/fonts
Nor are they in adobe/indesign/fonts
And last, it was not possible to pack a file, with fonts, on the old computer, export via USB stick, and then import into MacOS. MacOS did not like the fonts at all.
I called Adobe support to make them give me a new license key so I could install CS3 on MacOS and thereby get the fonts but they refused.
Looking forward to your help!

Missing fonts OTF cs4 mac/win .eps

.eps created with Windows CS4 on windows OTF
-On OSX 10.5 CS4 .eps says Fonts are missing (Happens whether or not Font Reserve is active or not active)
-On OSX 10.4 CS4 .eps opens fine without any fonts in fonts folders (and NO Font Reserve running)
Things I tried:
Fontbook not using fonts in question or conflicting as far as I can see.
Cleaned all Fonts on system using Finagler
.eps not corrupt
What could cause this to happen?

Permissions problem on one ofte systems.
try repairing the permissions or perhaps an update for the software.

Can't save to mapped drive, Save disabled for any network location - Photoshop CS3 on Win 7 x 64

This just started Saturday. Has worked for a long time. I did not change anything as far as I can tell.
Win 7 x 64
Intel I5 with 6gigs of ram
I have a few drives that are mapped and I though this was the issue but when I am using Photoshop any time I click "Save As" and navigate to network drive, mapped or any shared folder on the network the Save button instantly gets greyed out. When I navigate back to any local hard drive the grey button turns back to normal (aka active).
I am at a loss as I can't find any information on the internet.
Strange that it has been working fine until 2 days ago.
The only option now is to save to local HD then manually move files to networked computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you save to a UNC name? E.g., \\SERVER\SHARE\Folder\File.ext
If so, this can possibly serve as a workaround.
Has your network admin changed any of the file, folder, or share permissions recently?
FYI, I just tried saving to a mapped network drive with Photoshop CS5 12.0.2... No problem.

Photoshop CS3 in wine with awesomewm.

This has been happening for a while, and it's rather annoying. Every time I hover something, it moves like 3 pixes to the right and down. This includes the workspace window, the toolox, and all other windows (Character, Color palette, etc).
I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anything.

Try the AwesomeWM mailing list, they're very helpful.

Photoshop CC: Missing Fonts on Startup, only a few fonts are displayed as replacement options

I have a Photoshop document which uses some Fonts that I don't have on my Windows PC. When I open the document, I get a Dialog Box called "Missing Fonts", which states:
"Some fonts used in this document are missing. You can sync matching fonts from Typekit, or replace missing fonts with a default or different font used in this document"
This text suggests that I can only replace missing fonts with other fonts already being used in this document. However, I want to replace a missing font with a font that is not yet used in this document. Why can I only replace a missing font with another font already used in the document? For example, I want to replace "Helvetica Neue" with "Liberation Sans", however Liberation Sans is not offered in the Dropdown box, even though it is installed, as it is not yet used in the document. What is the point of only allowing to replace a missing font with a font that is already used in the document, and not with any font installed on the system??
Thanks,
best regards,
Chris

I'm a windows user so I do not know the Adobe Photoshop environment on the Mac or the versions of Mac OS. The only suggestion I could make would then be try using Adobe Cleaner to clean off Photoshop then install Photoshop Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Photoshop CS3 can't see some fonts

My Photoshop CS3 cannot see at least one of the TrueType fonts I have currently installed. The font in question is Sublime by Conoglio Type and it was accessible by Photoshop CS3 when it was installed on a previous computer under Win XP. I am presently running Win 7 and my other apps are able to find and use Sublime without difficulty, including other Adobe apps, so this problem seems to be unique to Photoshop.

I reinstalled the font just to make sure, but in so doing I realized that I was wrong -- it is a PS Type 1 font rather than a TT as I had thought. Then I noted that none of my Type 1 fonts showed up in Photoshop. So I decided to try copying the font files (PFB as well as PFM, of course) to C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and found that this seems to be the secret and that the font is now available for Photoshop use.
Why it cannot access it in the main Fonts folder remains a mystery, but one I don't actually have to solve.

CS3 is replacing missing fonts with Myriad

I am opening a file that uses some fonts that are missing. OK, and I get the warning message to that effect. Normally CS3 shows the alert badge on the layer and if the layer is selected & type tool active, it will show you the missing font name in brackets. BUT now when the file opens, there are no alert badges and the fonts are all changed to Myriad!
I tried deleting my prefs but that didn't help.

We received similar issue before http://forums.adobe.com/message/3024227#3024227
Do you have Font Agent Pro? If you do, please remove Font Agent Pro plug-in from Photoshop Plug-ins folder and try.
Hope this helps.

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,

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

.OTF Fonts Not Loading in Photoshop CS3

Post harddrive replacement I have been re-installing lost things, including Photoshop CS3 and font packages that I had on my system before. While the fonts have been successfully installed on my Mac, they are not showing up in Photoshop. The fonts have been upgraded since my prior use (old versions that worked with leopard would not install on snow leopard), so they are *different* then what worked before. But looking around online it seems like the .OTF format should work find with CS3. Ideas?
Thanks so much!

To what location did you install them? Are they showing up in other applications?
