Illustrator :: Installed System Font Does Not Show Up In CS6?
Aug 9, 2012
I have Installed the Creative Suite 6 with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator under Windows 7 Professional 32bit. A customer specific font has been installed in Windows and shows up in Notepad, Microsoft Office 2010 and other programs including Photoshop CS6. For InDesign I had to copy it to the "Programdirectory"Fonts folder and this worked fine. Only Illustrator CS6 doesn't show this Font (a TrueType font "cust.ttf") as available when I want to format a text with it. I've searched Google and Adobe but no luck so far. Based on other articles I also renamed the "IllustratorFonts.lst file - but also to no avail...
I have Arial Narrow Bold etc. installed in the Windows fonts folder but it still doesn't show in Photoshop CS6. Arial Narrow shows but not the bold version. It shows up in InDesign, however.
When I click on the Font Navigator icon, the window opens, but there are no fonts anywhere.......it's empty !! When I click on View All Fonts, nothing happens .  How do I get my installed fonts to show up in my Font Navigator?
Is there a way to specify a given system font that should be substituted for a given missing font? For example, the document I'm working with contains CourierStd and CourierStd-Bold which are not installed on my system. I would like to set Illustrator so that any time a document that contains these fonts is opened, Courier New and Courier New Bold are substituted automatically.
I am using Extendscript to do some of the crtitical functionalities for Adobe premiere pro. Programme is working fine when i run it from Flash builder 4.6, i get all the expected result in premiere pro cs6. This is the methode i am using to invoke functions in .jsx files  [ Embed (source= "filename.jsx" , mimeType= "application/octet-stream" )] private static var myScriptClass:Class; public function test():void{var jsxInterface:flash.external.HostObject
after installing new fonts I downloaded, I cannot get a sample, or even the name listed, of the font in the character panel of any of the new fonts. All the previously installed fonts show up fine. The new fonts have samples in Photoshop, Microsoft Word, etc, just not in Illustrator. Is there some way I can change this in Illustrator?
I have installed some new fonts in my windows font folder, but they are not showing up in illustrator. I am using a cloud version of illustrator and have tried closing and restarting to no avail.
I work in the editorial office of a medical journal and receive AI files from authors. I often get the following message: 'Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted' when I open a file. This is a particular problem for symbol font as, e.g., a beta would be substituted by a b. I thought that fonts or subsets of fonts were automatically embedded when the file is saved (this is what seems to happen in CS5 and CS6 when you save in ai format).
I'm trying to use the new linking Revit file feture in 3ds Max 2013 but i'm getting an error saying 'Autodesk Revit Interoperability is not installed on your system, consult your instalition guide...' Where do I get this from?
creative cloud says cs6 and photoshop cc are up to date so I cannot install from there. this laptop is giving me grief ie MSPaint won't save in png and gif formats and Paint,NET that I taught myself on and still use quite a bit crashes if I open either png or gif and won't save them either. This is the laptop that has ithe Intel Pentium graphic processor on it that best supports PS. another question, do we uninstall CS6 once CC is up and running.
my CAD 2013 and Revit 2013 crashs in the open screen only..i use Windows 8 .CAD 2013 days an error saying 'The security system (softlock license manager) is not functioning or is improperly installed,.. I did try ticking the netframes from the windows on/off settings and still end up with a softlock error..
I installed some True Type fonts on my machine the other day and I noticed that Photoshop does not include them in its list of fonts. Other True Type fonts that I installed in the past are recognized and included.
Is there some way I can get Photoshop to "see" fonts when it does not do so on its own?
I sure would like to be able to use the fonts with Photoshop. I know that some of the ones I installed worked on previous versions of PS.
Most of the designs require some unique font to get the desired effect. Most likely, we'd search the web for one, download it, use it and discard it. We don't wanna keep all these single-use fonts installed. It would be great if we can load a font in to PDN by just browsing for it using a file dialog. I think Photoshop lets you drag and drop a font to its main window and till let you use it for that session. When you exit the application, the font is unloaded.
Can this be supported? Of course, there is a workaround: Use a font manager app. But, I think it's a pretty good feature to have in a image editor never the less
Roboto font (by Google) is installed on Windows 7 system, but the regular weight is missing in Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign (both CS6 and CC, and same issue in Windows 8).
The font:
[URL]..................
All weights are installed properly, the only one not listed in adobe programs is Roboto-Regular.ttf.
I've installed some new fonts into my windows vista. The fonts were successfully installed and a check in Office reflected the new fonts. when i opened CS4, these fonts were not found in the list of characters.
In PS CS4. On XP. Why do I receive this message? & When the font changes, it moves the text. Why would this occur?The file was designed in PS 7.0. Does that matter? I didn't think it should if that is the problem. & yes I am having that Arial Narrow problem, but I won't get into that. It is not reading my Tahoma font either.
When i open my psd file it says that the some text layers might need to be update. When i press the update button i get the message "Selected font failed during last operation. If problem persists, please disable the font". If i click "no" the file opens, but all text layers has a exclamation mark and a tooltip that says "font is present on system but requires a layout change" Â I have create the PSD file using the trail version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 (downloaded from adobe.com). That trail has expired so i have just purhased Photosop CS 6 (from adobe.com). Before installing the version i purhased, i uninstalled the trail version. Â I dont understand this. It the same computer and the font is a system font that comes with the OS (Windows). I cannot create any new text layers. Â If a create a new PSD file i get the same message ""Selected font failed during last operation. If problem persists, please disable the font" when ever i try create a text layer.I have installed all updates.
I am in the process of building new machine and have a pro seat that for some reason is not showing the standard IV Icons.I have already built this machine and authorized all the softwares so I do not want to go through rebuilding to fix something so small.how to make the system show the correct icons for all the IV file types.
After opening a file from another designer, this Chinese font has taken over my "omens – regular" font file. Anytime I use it, it converts to this font and each time I need to change a font weight, I must do it manually. As you can imagine, I use our company font all day so this slows me down quite a bit. Have you heard of this? It seems like some sort of font virus. I've researched removing it, yet can't seem to find the original font file to get rid of, which is even weirder."
We tried moving the font family to the trash, emptying the trash, rebooting the machine, and re-adding the font family and it still is happening.
An eps file opens without any problem with the preview as .pdf on Mac OS 10.7.5In illustrator when I open the same file, the main font is not recognized and no warning said the font is not available.
Does the font interface in Photoshop show big enough in Windows 7?
I purchasde a new Pc with Windows 8, and the Photoshop and Bridge Interface is not readable, it is miniscule, Adobe, Microsoft and DEll cannot fix problem. So I am returning my PC, and need to purchase a new one, if the font is big enough, say size 12 or 14 (normal size) on window 7?
When I type in my font, Photoshop CS3 will only show the upper case character, and when I attempt to type the text in lower case, it just types the upper case but smaller. I don't have any problems with any other fonts, and this font works fine in every other text program I am working with...
I have tried un-installing and re-installing the font multiple times.
I have a problem with Illustrator CS6 on Win7 x86 on one of our users' machines. The font Arial Narrow is installed, MS Word / Framemaker pick it up and you can use it, but Illustrator and InDesign won't see the font. So my user can't use Arial Narrow as the family so can't select the font for bold/italics/underline. He can only choose narrow as a sub style of the Arial family, but Arial Narrow has been installed seperately.  The font has also been placed in the Common subfolder for adobe softwares, but after that it still won't be found.What has been tried:  Uninstall and Reinstall the fontAdd font to font folders for adobe products (both common and product specific)Clearing Windows and Adobe font caches ..All these steps have not solved our problem.
