Photoshop :: Accessing Fonts Outside Normal Directories?
May 13, 2011
The company I work for has security measures in place which prevent me from modifying any directory within the C: drive. This means, of course, that I can't add fonts to either the system fonts directory or the Adobe/Fonts directory.
Obviously, this is a huge disadvantage, and I'm trying to find a workaround. Any way to make Photoshop find fonts in a different directory? I'm able to create and modify directories on our shared server, so I'd like to create an alternate fonts folder there and point Photoshop toward it.
(I'm using CS4 on a Windows XP 5.1 . I'm a Mac guy at home, so I don't know much about Windows.)

I use Corel DRAW for writing articles in Telugu ( a South Indian language)I have been using X4 from 2008 on-wards.This is how I do it.
I use Edit PLus Version 2 for data entry...no formatting at this stage.Then , I copy and paste it it in Corel DRAW.Formatting for font, line breaks, paragraph breaks etc. is done in DRAW.Then I ‘Publish to PDF’ and I get very clean PDF file....absolutely no issues.The fonts are developed by local vendor and are Type 1 format. I never print them.
Some of my recipients have printed on laser printers.They too had no problems.I send them as attachments with my emails.
About two months ago, I purchased and started using X6.Here the PDF file appears very faint.
The same thing happened with X5 also.I am not able attach same PDF files as they are around 1 MB ...with the same text and all other parameters.

Suddenly my normal crisp type is all ragged. Don't know how to fix this- tried restarting, no luck. All of my files have this problem now.

Just yesterday I noticed that all my Xfrog plant models were black. They were still showing in the scene as black blobs, but on checking the directories to where the models and their images are--Maya could no longer read or find the directories. They were all still in the same place on my hard drive, and the path to them under the attributes for the models was still correct, but Maya said they weren't there (couldn't reload or click to view them.) Being a newbie I didn't have them all in the 'source images' directory of the project, if that matters, but I hadn't changed or removed anything and they had worked up until now.
I had to step through the different items, bark, branch, leaf, etc., and click the folder icon, reselect the exact same file/image, and poof, it works again. In some cases, just reselecting the file for one entry (e.g. a leaf) would then make the subsequent paths to that image work again, which saved some time. But it seemed like Maya somehow lost whatever linked it to the exact same directory and path that was still there in the attributes and still on the disc. Redoing all the links proved to me that the exact path still worked, but boy...what a glitch to have to go through and re-touch every tree, bush, leaf, etc.

i am unable to import RAW photographs that are already on an external drive, imported by another program via a netbook in the field. Gives no error message, just won't recognize the directories. Will recognize JPEG though. Taken with a Canon xsi. Lightroom is on an HP laptop with plenty of oomph. Have been using Lightroom v. 3.4.1 with no prior problems for thousands of photos, now all of a sudden...????
just completed installation of LR v. 3.5 and same issue: unresolved.

I like keeping my videos in a separate directory from my images so they are easy to find and stream with media center. Is there a way to import both images and video from a card at the same time and have the videos go to a different directory than the images?

Is there a way to limit the folder directory to only the last few directories?
Example:
If I have the file here,
C:folder1folder2folder3...folder10file.dwg
And I only need to know this,
folder9folder10file.dwg
Some of my files exist in folder directories that extend off the sheet within the plotstamp printing single line and I would like to shorten them to only show the last few directories as all the ones before are exactly the same. I do not want to change the plotstamp to multiline and I can not move the files to other directories as this is just how our system is set up.

As you can see in the attached print screen TheProblen.png I need to modify the XRecord within a file header sub directories.
I have managed to loop through the file directories and sub-directories and even extracted the ResultBuffer of the correct sub-directory.
I now have a ResultBuffer/XRecord that has an array of typed values in it and I need to modify one of the typed values. How do I do it?

I am in the process of creating 2 lisp routines, one that loads Support file search paths on the network and one that adds support file search path locally. Each routine will be run depending on the ability of ACAD to find a file on the server. I noticed that when I add the new directories the default AutoCAD folders get replaced. I researched this and found that using the SETENV and ACAD I can include the default support paths.
The issue I am running into is that not all default folders are being added to AutoCAD when I used the ACAD variable. A plugin folder under Program Data is listed in the original install, but it is not listed when I add my directories and used the ACAD variable to add the default directories. The same thing happens when raster design is installed. The help folder and the install directory for raster are not carried over when using the ACAD variable.
I am attaching the coding for the lisp routine adding server paths. Is there some syntax I can add to tell it to append to the list instead of replacing the SFSP list?
(vl-load-com)
(setq files (vla-get-files
(vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))
)
)
(setq SERVNM (getenv "servername"))
(setq SLSERV (STRCAT "\\" SERVNM))
[code].........

I want to see "resent" fonts when choosing, be able to type letter to get down the list quickly, group similar fonts, etc. Maybe have a magnifying glass attached to cursor to see fonts better.... Why have this not been done?

Once I installed windows 7, while I WAS using PSE 9, I had the tiny font problem. I stopped using PSE for 2 years. I just installed PSE 11. Though better, the Font is still way smaller than I would like. Maybe it's just tougher for seniors? Can they not make the font adjustable? I was told there is no way to increase the size of the font?

It used to be that I very rarely used fonts within CS5 but recently I have. I realized that all of the fonts supposedly included with CS5 are not available via my drop down menu.
I then found these fonts in Windows/fonts so I copied all of those fonts into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts. These unavailble fonts are now listed in that folder but are still not available via the dropdown menu in PS CS5.
I've recently read that the fonts don't really even NEED to be in the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts folder and that PS should actually make all of the fonts in Windows/Fonts available via the dropdown menu. Yes, I have restarted PS after copying the files and also tried rebooting my PC after copying the files. The fonts are still not available via the drop down text menu within PS even though all of them are now in both locations.

I need to access Photoshop CS 5.5 running under Windows 7 remotely. I have Go To My PC and is works, but is there a solution that is better and faster?
Second, is the PC from which I access Photoshop relevant to performance – assuming I stick with Go To My PC?

I just installed CS6 upgrade. I always started Bridge from CS5 menu bar at the top. There is no Bridge button/icon to start Bridge from the top menu. I have to access it through the file menu. Is there a problem or am I missing an option or preference setting? In CS4 & 5 it was always on the top menu bar?

When I go to save my document, the Notes check box is grayed, no matter what I check or uncheck, and no matter what type of file I select it to be saved as, so I can't create any annotations.

I have Photoshop 7 and Win XP, but am not very experienced in PS. I just downloaded the Bickham Script Pro from Adobe . In Photoshop, I did some type in the regular characters, but I cannot find how to access the alternate characters for this font. The dropdown next to the right of the font box says "regular" and there are no other options to select.

I have not used PSE in 2 years; when I open it, no new pictures have been added. At the bottom of the welcome page it indicates it is accessing customer info, but this has been going on for 18 hours and nothing new is added. I have rebooted twice.

I'm experiencing a very bizarre problem in CS with a font special character. I used Extensis Suitcase to examine all the font characters for a particular font that I'm using on a project. The character mapping shows the key combination for the character I want is (on a Mac) Option/Alt + Z.
This works in every other application on my computer, including my email application, but for some reason, within CS it brings up the Omega character. Any idea why this happens and how I change it? I even tried to type the character in Word and cut and paste it into Photoshop and it changes! What gives?

never knew there has a font folder in the user profile for Gimp until I wiped my user profile and moved all patterns, gradients, brushes, etc I have been putting in the program folder to the user profile folder because I read on here that it is better to keep all that stuff in the user profile folder of Gimp... my question is, what is the difference between installing your fonts into the system and placing them into the fonts folder in Gimp (besides all programs being able to use them)?? I've been installing all my fonts into the system I wanna use in Gimp... is it better to use the font folder in the Gimp user profile or to install them into the system?

I keep receiving the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" when trying to access Blending Options for a custom graphic or font. It's completely inaccessible. It used to work just fine.
The only other time I've seen this error is when running an action.
