PS CS2 Help using illegible font

Not sure how this happened, but my PS CS2 (Windows) Help viewer is using a crazy custom font that is almost impossible to read. I've reset the Help viewer to its default state, plus I have searched for config files and registry settings that might contain the font setting, but I've had no luck.
I would search Help for a solution to this issue, but...
Any ideas?

James:
I have the same problem. When you have a huge amount of fonts, the help files pick any font. Not sure how it is done. You will find that the font used in the InDesign, Illustrator & Photoshop are all different when you start them from within the app, but that font will remain if you switch to the help files for another app from there. There is really no answer that I have found.
Hopefully you don't end up with Bocklin. Also, the help files are web based, so if you hold the ctrl key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse you can enlarge the font to the point it is not illegible.
Edit: It seems to have changed with CS3 apps, Illustrator cannot use the ctrl key to enlarge the font.

I upgraded to Firefox 6 random websites are using illegible fonts from my computer instead of the default. No issues with Firefox 5 or any other browser I use. Each time I open Firefox or reinstall it a different illegible font appears. Please help.

Firefox 6 using incorrect fonts.

When I delete the font that keeps showing up as the default, a new illegible font appears. The fonts are not 'garbled' they are just decorative typefaces that are being grabbed from my computer. I have never had an issue with my fonts on old Firefox versions or other browsers like chrome, safari, etc., so I don't think the issue is my fonts. I also don't want to have to delete all the fonts off of my computer. I uploaded another photo of when I deleted the font that was appearing before. Please help if anyone has found a solution to this problem with Firefox 6+ :/

Help using international fonts.

Would appreciate some guidance on this subject. If I want to create a document in any given application, and use different languages, how can that be accomplished?
I see many options in the International prefs, but would like a clue before cutting loose and blindly changing things. One scary thought is that I'd change to a language and not be able to understand how to change it back to English.

To input foreign languages you need to select the correct input method. After that the font normally takes care of itself. Input methods are activated in system prefs/international/input menu. Make sure you check the box for "show input menu in Finder" so you get the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen where you can change your keyboard easily. Some more detailed info is here:

If you have questions about how to do something in a specific language and app, just ask. Some apps cannot do all languages.

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)

Can anyone help me using these fonts?...

Hi guys, im building a site in dreamweaver and was hoping to use the fonts - positive a, barnes and pen of truth.
I know that there is something you can do with some copy and paste code from google but i cant seem to find it.
Can anyone help?!
Heres my site - www.allroots.org

Benn,
Line 6 of your HTML where you've used the reference for CabinSketch - it is incorrect referencing to Google Webfont library. The correct references it this:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cabin+Sketch:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
700 being font-weight, bold.
One more thing I noticed - Rye regular is also incorrectly referenced in your HTML. The correct line of reference is:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Rye' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Replace both these to your existing lines that define these 2 font references.
The current URL you've referenced to on Google Fonts API gives a 404 not found error - which means the font is not stored at Google at the referenced location which is why the font doesn't show up on your page. Try clicking on these links as given your document to see what I mean:
CabinSketch Bold
Rye Regular
Trust this helps.

Can't use Bangla font in anti-alias "anti-alias for animation"....help needed!

Hi, the problem I am having with adobe flash pro cs6 is that I am trying to use Bangla font in flash. Although the font shows up but in anti-alias "anti-alias for animation" mode, the fonts become all scattered and disordered. But when I switch to "use device font", the work okay. But in using device font, I cant really use the subscript or superscript button. So then again I have to switch back to "anti-alias for animation". I am getting sick of it. Is there any way around it?

CS2 Help Center quits when opened in Illustrator

I had to reinstall Illustrator CS2 (v12.1) today and found that after installing, my CS2 Help Center did not work. The window appears, then quits suddenly. I tried moving the Prefs and .plist for it to the desktop, but it did not help. It also does not work when launched from other CS2 apps, like Photoshop.
Using Mac v10.4. Font utility is Font Explorer.

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks. I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings. I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting. Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited. I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line. The reason I have been doing this is because It really is one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something. I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this. I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this. I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected. Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color. I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
Thanks for any help its really appreciated!
Rylan

Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
One option is to use the HTML tag combined with CSS.
CSS
.important {
font-size: 14px;
color: red;
This sentence contains a really important word

Please help! Installed fonts just stopped showing up in CS4 MAC, how do i get them back?

Hi there,
I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
still on Adobe CS4, i initially had problems getting CS4 to see my installed fonts when upgraded to Snow Lepoard, googled the problem, tried several different things for hours - something worked not sure what exactly but CS4 started seeing all of my installed fonts.
Now all of a sudden, they are not showing up again, i have not downloaded anything, installed anything, moved anything - were all there and working last week, and then this week they are not.
I have 1060 fonts installed - work for an agency with hundreds of different clients so need a lot of fonts. Am not using any font manager - just fontbook, is that the issue? all 1060 fonts are showing up as installed in Fontbook....
I have some fonts in HD>library>fonts, and also fonts in user>library>fonts, could this be the issue? is it best to have them in just one place? if so which folder is best to have all fonts in?
I know indesign has its own font folder - which is now where it seems to be reading fonts from, and illustrator is reading its fonts from somewhere else - only about 30-40 are showing up there, system fonts folder i'm guessing?
How can i get indesign and illustrator to read fonts from my actual font libraries?
any help is much appreciated! Our graphic design team of 2 are the only ones on macs so all our IT support guys are PC based and never know anything on how to fix mac issues so i'm on my own with this issue!
Thanks
Mel

If you are managing fonts with font book, then all should be well. Something else is going on. Try installing Onyx and use that to delete all your caches including your font cache. You willl need to restart your computer after clearing your caches.

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1

Convert Excel to PDF using specific font Avant Garde ends up with missing text

Hello, hopefully someone can help me out. I have a problem with converting a specific Excel document to PDF using Acrobat 6.0.6. Whenever this document is converted to PDF, on one specific computer there is are missing lines of text. The font of the text is Avant Garde. I can change the font to something like Arial and it will convert fine and all text will be shown in the PDF.
I've already reinstalled Windows on this PC with its bare essentials and sure enough the problem persists.
The Avant Garde font is installed by way of Adobe Type Mangager Light 4.1. The fonts are Post Script .PFB. I have a second and third PC with the same setup and these other two can successfully convert the Excel to PDF using Acrobat 6.0.6 without any problems (using the same Avant Garde font).
I can uninstall and then reinstall Acrobat 6.0.6 and this will fix the problem temporarily but it will eventually come back within a day or two.
Is there anything anyone can think of that would cause this problem to occur?

I suspect the font is not embedded and not on that machine. You might try selecting "use Local Fonts" to see if it works that way. To check embedding, select ctrl-D and the font tab, or go to the document properties and select the font tab (they keep moving these around and don't remember where it is in AA6).
If the font is not embedded, then change your job settings for creating the PDF to Press or Print forms and see if that solves the problem.

How to use the fonts in the graphics menu

I am looking to add text from the graphics options on the right hand side of the screen. When I double click or drag one of the text options to my project a text box appears, however the text is not the one selected from the options on the right – instead the text appears and I can change the text from the list of standard fonts at the lower left - and the font I double clicked from the menu on the left isn't listed.
How can I select and use the fonts listed on the graphics list at the right? I am looking to use the gray and black "outline" font.
Thank you!

When I press the "+" at the lower right corner of the screen I am presented with, among other things, a selection of font types. I am able to change the text color in the graphics menu but can't figure out how to use one of the fonts listed in the menu. For example, from the graphics menu I select "type" then "text" and from the fonts listed I double click "outline" and a text box appears on my project with "your text here", however the font is "rosewood std" and the only fonts available are from the typical list - no outline font as listed in the graphics menu on the right. When I double click the text type "outline" the font doesn't change. I think I am missing a step somewhere but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
