Typekit sync problem in Photoshop (Suitcase fusion?)

I am on a Mac OS X 10.9 and all my CC apps are up to date
I installed a few desktop fonts from Typekit. They worked fine in Photoshop but after restarting my Mac the fonts were disabled in Photoshop. I then turned file and font sync of/on in CC settings, and it partly fixed the problem. But one of the typefaces are still disabled (LFT Etica - Bold).
I am using Suitcase Fusion 2.0. I can see from other threads that it may cause troubles.

We've released an update to Suitcase Fusion 5 that addresses Typekit compatibility. The update is avaiable free to all registered Suitcase Fusion 5 users and can be downloaded here:

There's some good info about Fusion 5's Typekit integration in this blog post:

Fontbook fonts not syncing with my software programs-after SuitCase Fusion Trial

I am hoping someone can offer some insight / help. I am frantic .....a graphic designer needing my fonts asap!!
TRIGGER/ Problem arose today -- I installed and then uninstalled a trial version of Suitcase Fusion 3 today - and now 1/2 of my fonts are not recongnized by my software programs (ie: all Adobe software, MS Word, excel etc).
Basically when I open up FONTBOOK it shows all of my fonts under the ALL FONTS column, however when I want to use them in InDesign or PhotoShop or WORD, or Illustrator ....etc (you get the idea) ...they are not available from any drop down menues. It's as though the Fusion Software trial delinked them from use in all my applications?
Does anyone know how to reestablish fonts as they are listed / available in FONTBOOK?
Is there possible corruption OR is it just something I need to reestablish in my system?
Thanks kindly,
Jhoe

You used the software's built in uninstaller correct?
Because if you didn't you need to install it again, then use their uninstaller first.
Next, download OnyX here
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects, you can cancel the reboot in between, but you need to reboot at the end of using OnyX.
This page especially should be of extra interest, it will rebuild your font caches.
Going to take a little time, but hopefully that will fix your issue.
None of your programs, files or fonts will be deleted, it's just cleaning out the system so it can rebuild itself.
If it doesn't work, then what likely has happened is the trial software didn't completely remove itself or altered something and didn't place things back the way it should be.
You should contact the support people for that program. They might have instructions.
But since you can't always count on them, it's always best to have a "hold option bootable clone" of your boot drive on a external drive which you can reverse clone from or use if your boot drive dies, and/or a TimeMachine drive where you can restore back to a previous state before the software install occurred.

Photoshop CS6 and Suitcase Fusion 4

I am trying to work with my previous Photoshop files I created last night on CS5.5 and Suitcase Fusion 4. All my loaded and active fonts are not active in Photoshop. How do i get my fonts to be activated in my adobe applications??

I'm using CS6 and Suitcase Fusion 4 like lots of other folks, and there is a huge list of fonts showing up for me in the drop-down menu. If you really have fonts enabled (either via Suitcase or the OS), they should be available. The only thing that doesn't work right now, because a Suitcase update isn't yet available, is auto-activation. You should still be able to manually activate them and make them available.
Make sure you (1) manually activate the font and (2) quit and relaunch Photoshop after activating the font (not all programs will notice a font activation on-the-fly).
If you've done the above and it's still not working, and you can verify that the fonts are available to other programs, then my guess is you have a problem with your Photoshop install...? (*shrug*)
Are you using Mac/Windows (I'm Mac and can't really help much on the Windows side of things)?

Photoshop and Suitcase Fusion dilemma

I just installed Suitcase Fusion 5 and it is crashing Photoshop CS4. It also happened when I installed SF3 but I cannot find the fix, (which was easy). Does anyone remember how to do it?

Mac OS 10.7.5. I will try Extensis tomorrow, but they did not have the fix last time, a forum person did. The problem seems to be, so far, opening any document from Illustrator that has live text in it. I have tried opening a PDF, then an EPS. The only way I could convert the doc to Photoshop was to change the text to outlines.
The SF5 is a new upgrade which unfortunately deleted the SF3 which had also been a nightmare to debug. And I am only on a demo version so far so if I do not buy it I will have to reinstall SF3 and go through all that again. AAARRRGH!
There was some easy fix that is not obvious but someone figured out. Just cannot find the thread.

Suitcase Fusion/Photoshop Font Issue

I have Photoshop CS5.5 with Suitcase Fusion 15.0.5. When I use any kind of typeface in a Photoshop file it appears jagged. When I rasterized the type, the edges are still jagged. It does display the correct font and not defaulting to a generic one. It is just that the curved edges are bad.
I am to figure out if this is a Photoshop or Suitcase issue. I have reinstalled the suitcase plugin, no change. Reset Photoshop to it's defaults. My other apps (e.g. Adobe, Apple and Microsoft), the fonts look great.

What's the ppi resolution of your files? What type of file format?
Once rasterized, text in Photoshop is no longer vector. Unless you have a very high ppi resolution, text is bound to appear jagged.
Photoshop is not the ideal application for text.

Suitcase Fusion/Classic Font Problems

I have a few machines that can still run Quark 4.1 in Classic mode for viewing legacy files.
Sadly, I installed Suitcase Fusion, which KO'd my ability to open any fonts in Classic apps. I have uninstalled Suitcase, using the Extensis Knowledge Base article on how to do it. But now, with Suitcase uninstalled, I still can't get any fonts to work in my Classic apps. I'm using the method of dropping the fonts directly into the System(9)Folder/Fonts folder. But when the apps open, none of the fonts I've added are available for use.
Any ideas on how I can regain the ability to add fonts for use in Classic, short of a re-install of system software?
Thanks.

Are the fonts you're putting into that folder OS 9 fonts or OS X fonts?
I haven't used Suitcase in nearly 12 years and have no idea how Suitcase Fusion works with old-style fonts in OS X. If you think SF might have altered your old OS 9 font files in any way, make sure the ones you put in your System Folder/Fonts folder are copies of the original old fonts, not ones that have been touched by Suitcase.

Typekit syncing issues...

I'm having problems with Typekit - it won't stay synced with my machine - any ideas? I've tried logging out of CC and restarting - no luck. And now I've lost all previous fonts I had synced. Please help

Hi Cindy,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Do you happen to use Suitcase Fusion to manage the installed fonts on your computer? We have recently identified a bug in Suitcase Fusion which causes fonts synced from Typekit to be deactivated.
More information and a workaround is available here:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1323222
If that's not the case for you, would you please send your recent sync logs to [email protected] so we can take a closer look?
On OS X:
* Open the Finder
* under the Go menu, select "Go To Folder"
* in the windows that opens, type: /Users/(username)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/
Note that you need to replace "(username)" with your own account name; for instance, on my computer I am "galle".
(Or if you are comfortable working from the Terminal, cd to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/)
On Windows:
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\
Attach the recent CoreSync-yyyy-MM-dd.log files to an email. Please don't send a zip file, as they often get flagged as spam.
Thank you,

Anyone having issues with InDesign (CS5) and Suitcase Fusion 3 (Mac)?

I've run into a problem that I think might be caused by Suitcase Fusion 3 [Version 14.2.0 (319)], but I'm wondering if anyone here is having any issues with InDesign and Suitcase Fusion like I am?
Just about every time I launch an InDesign document or an Illustrator document (don't seem to have the issue in Photoshop, strangely enough) it pretty much crashes to the point where it's a force quit. Before anyone asks the question, this is what I've done - I've reformatted my hard disk (even writing 0s!), done a clean install of Lion (10.7.3), clean install of Creative Suite 5 (and updates), clean install of Suitcase (and updates)...you get the idea. I'm still ending up with crashing just about every time I open a document in these two apps.
As an experiment I downloaded a (fully functioning) trial version of FontAgent Pro (which I didn't like, btw) and didn't encounter any crashing at all in either application.
I've opened a ticket with Adobe to see if they have any details as to whether this is a known conflict or whatever (though I don't hold much hope for getting help from them since it's looking more like a Suitcase issue than a Creative Suite one).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to try and resolve this?
I'm in the middle of producing two magazines and I really really don't need this! Lol

From the lovely people at Extensis tech support -
Thanks for the info. As you said, if this is happening when you have only manually activated fonts, then the auto-activation isn't coming into play which does lead me to think it is related to the plug-in generally and maybe the sleep issue, which you say you definitely have. So I've added you to the sleep issue tracking.
If you find yourself coming back from putting the computer to sleep and the apps with Suitcase plugins have hung, do this:
1)      Go to your spotlight and type in "activity"
2)      Launch "Activity Monitor"
3)      Highlight the name of the adobe/quark application that is hanging by clicking it.
4)      Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
5)      Click the "Save" button.
6)      Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
7)      This will generate a file such as " Sample of Adobe Illustrator CS5.txt"
8)      Repeat this process with any other application that is hanging.
9)      Highlight the "FMCore" process by clicking it.
10) Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
11) Click the "Save" button.
12) Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
13) This will generate a file named " Sample of FMCore.txt"
14) Place these files along with the ".Plugins.txt" files created earlier into a new folder called "Plugins"
15) Right click (control+click) to compress into a .zip file.
Please attach this zip in reply to this mail.
When we are sure of a fix, we'll get back to you. In the meantime here are some workarounds:
Option 1:
1)      Back up your font sets by dragging them to the desktop
2)      Remove SF3 v14.2 by following the instructions here:
http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4020
3)      Download and re-install Suitcase Fusion 3 (version 14.0.6) from:
http://dl.extensis.com/downloads/ST/EN/M/SuitcaseFusion3-M-1406-EN.zip
4)      Are there fonts and font sets in your old font vault you would like to recover?
If NO :
a)      Open SF3
b)      Simply drag and drop your original fonts into the SF3 "Font Library". This will copy the fonts into a new font vault.
If YES : Restore your old fontvault from the backup the removal tool created
a)      If you choose "Y" to KEEP your font vault earlier when you ran the removal script, on your desktop you will find a folder called "Extensis-Backup-today's date" that contains a backup of your previous suitcase fusion 3 fontvault.
b)      Move your old font vault from the "Extensis-Backup-today's date" folder on your desktop into this folder:
/Users/[your username]/Library/Extensis/Suitcase Fusion/Suitcase Fusion.fontvault
c)       Launch SF3 from your dock. you should now see all your old fonts and font sets.
Option 2:
Remove our auto-activation plugins and activate your fonts manually in SF3 and/or add your adobe/quark apps to the SF3 > Preferences > General > Global Auto-Activation Options list. here's how:
1)      In SF3: choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Manage Plugins
2)      Uncheck the boxes for adobe/quark apps; this will remove our auto-activation plugins
3)      Choose SF3 > Preferences > General
4)      Under "Global Auto-Activation Options", press the "+" button to add your adobe/quark apps
Please note that "global auto-activation" is less accurate than our plugin-based auto-activation. Double check your font usage in your design app to confirm the correct font was loaded after opening a document.

File Info problems in Photoshop CC & CS5.1 on OS X 10.8

I have recently upgraded my Macs, running OS X Mountain Lion, from Photoshop CS5.1 to Photoshop CC for two reasons:
1. Because it most the most cost efficeint way to obtain the latest Camera Raw plugins that are no longer supported in CS5.1
2. Because I began experiencing issues on two Macs where initially only in Bridge, was I no longer able to input any File Info dialogue.
I make extensive use of File Info templates, which are then applied to batches of files in Bridge before individual files, or groups of files requiring the identical metadata are modified.
After a time, once the overall batch of File Info templates had been applied to files I discovered that I was unable to edit them further. Even after Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility it usually took a reboot to fix the problem, although the problem was always solved.
However there came a point a few weeks ago when I was unable write any further metadata to File Info, in Bridge or Photoshop, no matter what I did. Again this issue happened on two Macs so I'm guessing that it is not a machine issue.
As I needed the latest Camera RAW plugins as well I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CC, which I have to say I have been very pleased with - until now. The dreaded File Info problem has now occurred again, although currently only in Photoshop, not Bridge. When I try to add or modify any information in File Info in Photoshop CC the dialogue box just closes!
Clearly it is not just a Photoshop CC issue although I never had the problem prior to CS5.1 and I leapfrogged CS6 and I find it hard to believe that it is a machine issue. Could it be a conflict with the OS or with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Curt, Thanks for your rapid response.
To answer your questions. I thought that, initially, the problem might be a permissions problem but it occurs on both boot drives and also when the same files are copied to Firewire external drives - on both Macs, but different external drives in each case. I followed your link but there was nothing there that I didn't already know or hadn't already tried, thanks.
One computer is a 24" iMac and the other is a 15" MacBook Pro. I've also tried to replicate the problem on four PowerMac G5s running OS X 10.5.8 with Photoshop/Bridge CS4, with the same drives plugged in, but have experienced no problems at all. It's quite bizarre.
Also, looking deeper into the conundrum, I find that I can't input any numbers, only letters! Using the keyboard all numbers, whether on the main or auxiliary keypads, cause the File Info dialogue box to either jump to a new tab or close. Using Shift on the numbered keys works perfectly however!
It just goes on getting better...

Adobe CC apps will not open after Suitcase Fusion 6 upgrade.

It appears that, after installing the recent Suitcase Fusion 6 upgrade (WIN7-64-bit) most of my Adobe CC apps won't open?!

CS2 seems to conflict with CS6. One user found this to work. AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

Lightroom 6 - Missing fonts with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 6

Upgrade today from LR5 to LR6 CC and have lost lots of fonts! Understand an old problem, but can't find recent solution. I still have all fonts in Photoshop CC after update. How do I get my fonts back? They still appear in LR5.

Suitcase Fusion 5 v. 16.1.0. I'll check if there's been another update. But I'd installed one not long ago.
It turned out that turning the font off in Suitcase and back on again made it show up in the menu -- which at least worked once. But it doesn't explain why they all disappeared in the first place.
The problem does now appear to be at the Suitcase end, though because when I relaunched Photoshop they were missing there as well.
I certainly wasn't aware of any hiccups or power glitches, and Suitcase had been running the whole time.

Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
Thanks,
Dean.

I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
Thanks.

AI/CS4 crashes on Start-up - Suitcase Fusion 3 Issue?

I installed Suitcase Fusion 3 the other day. Now Illustrator crashes on startup. Could it be part of the SF3 auto-activation? It wouldn't be the first time it caused a problem, but I un-clicked the "Illustrator CS4" button, and it still crashes.
I did contact Extensis, and Isent them a System Profile Report. Their guy says he "sees some strange things" in it, and asked about classic and if I changed the default install location for AI CS4.
Any help will be appreciated!

I just wrote something in another thread here concerning Fusion and Font Book. They don't play nice with each other.
This should have came with your Fusion3 Install, but check out page 8 of this PDF:
http://doc.us.extensis.com/SuitcaseFusion3-User-Guide-Mac.pdf
On my work station, after setting up Font Book's preferences, I "disable" the program by making it a .zip archive so that it does not launch.
Concerning your .ai preferences, you have to go to the actual folder in your "Library" and delete the preferences. Illustrator will recreate this file once you launch it again.
And you can also go to the plug-ins folder within the illustrator folder to remove the Fusion3 plug-in.

Suitcase Fusion 5 making Adobe CC slow?

Hi. New Macbook Pro Retina. Just moved back to Suitcase Fusion 5, after really liking Fontcase for several years.
It seems the Extensis plugins are really decreasing the startup time for Photoshop, etc. I don't even have any fonts loaded or activeted, beyond the system fonts. When I remove the photoshop extensis plug in, launch time is super fast, 2 seconds. With the plug in it feels like forever, 6 seconds.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Also, do the extensions enbable auto font activation for Adobe CC apps, or just the the integrated font panels I see under the Extensions menu in CC apps? I don;t care much for the integrated font panels.
Thanks for any help.

You'll get better answers in the PS forum or the Extensis ones for that matter, I'm sure...
