I do know, however that I have downloaded a few fonts from free sites for specific projects that do work. I think I am going to call my tech guy to come and reinstall Photoshop for me and hopefully, fingers crossed, that will solve the problem.Īs far as other fonts go, there aren't any that I know of that aren't working, then again, there aren't many that I use that often or any that are as important as this one. I also ran the font file she sent me through the font validator and it too had a few red flags,so I have no idea. I deleted my font, shut down, installed hers, shut down again and restarted and. Incidentally the person I'd spoken about earlier did send me their font file. I'd also read about resetting the general preferences as well, and though not a newbie to designing and using a computer, I am also far from a computer guru, so resetting general preferences reminded me of the time my mom came to visit me, here in Bali, and she was trying to put the flash on the camera and pressed 'reformat' and it erased 2 weeks worth of photos, so I was a bit apprehensive about pressing buttons that give me a warning: "are you sure you want to do this becasue it can't be undone". I then set on a search about finding 'type preferences' in Photoshop 7 and everything I saw was for I guess newer versions of Photoshop which had different menus. I'd read about resetting type preferences to not displaying the typeface in the menu in several places, but when I tried to find the 'type preferences' in my Photoshop, they simply aren't there. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I'll see if that works and let you know how it turns out. I'd heard (through the reading of the bizilion hits I'd clicked on) that Photoshop is more stringent when it comes to fonts than other programs.Īnyway I will have a look at the link you provided, in the meantime someone on another forum is sending me their IrisUPC font file (which is apparently not corrupt) for me to try. Of course I don't know if these had anything to do with this issue or not, but I suspect that maybe that's it, given the sources from which I have tried downloading it. Tried running the font validator and it did pick up some issues, however, it lists about a thousand things and there were a couple red flags. That font had originally just been on my previous computer but got lost along the way in the switch over so I downloaded the font, several times, from several free sites, all to no avail. before I post a question that's already been answered that could have solved my problem. hence it taking me the last 2 days trying to read it all and try all of the suggestions, including downloading a font validator etc. thanks for the reply and yes, I realize there are 665, bizillion hits with that issue and yes I did try a, b, and c. PS - If you get the font to show up as it should, please let us know what worked - we all learn from that. You can either post it on some Dropbox-clone for which the recipient doesn't need to register to download a file (e.g., ) or just zip it and post the zipped file directly to this forum the same way you would post an image file - just ignore the warnings. If that doesn't work, make the font file available to us and one of us will check it. So, have you already eliminated (a), (b) and (c), above? If so, the next place to go to systematically troubleshoot your problem is this note from Adobe: (There are ways to check all your fonts for such problems.)ī) The font actually is present in PS's list, but is listed in a place that you didn't expect, eg, among Asian fonts or some other group, or the name listed in PS begins with some unexpected characters.Ĭ) Only one face of the font seems to be present, but the others (eg, bold, italic, heavy, etc.) can only be seen by accessing them through the appropriate menu. There reasons for such font problems can be broken down into several common types:Ī) This particular font is corrupt. Google, and you will see ~650,000 hits, many of which appear to be relevant - just not specific to the particular font that is giving you problems. I don't know how you have been searching for an answer, but try this: I realize that you said that you searched the web for an answer, but, to be honest, this is a much more common problem than one might think.
