Photoshop :: How To Get Again Access Of All Fonts On System
Dec 18, 2012
Until recently, all the CS6 applications accessed all the fonts on my system.
Â
Now when I click in a font drop-down menu in Photoshop or Illustrator, for example, I only get a small sub-set of fonts (the ones I believe come with the applications).
Â
How do I get the applications to access/find/discover all the fonts I have?Â
Â
Background: I am running OS 10.7.5 on my laptop, with Creative Cloud Membership. I also have CS6 Creative Cloud on my Desktop.
Â
The only thing that has changed (that I can think of) was that I had an issue with Adobe Muse about a month ago, in which the Cloud server mistakenly said I had too many subscriptions / installations and would not let me update Muse. The Adobe Helpdesk people had to deactivate / reactivate the Creative Cloud Membership on my desktop to fix this. In between then and now I did not use any "exotic" fonts for the things I was doing, and so did not notice any missing fonts. Now I'm trying to update an older file that uses fonts not in the list.
Â
When I checked the Help feature in Illustrator and Photoshop, it included such advice as trashing a Library file related to fonts. Wouldn't this make the CS6 applications stop working? or would the applications re-create the font "cache" from scratch again when you re-start them?
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 use CS PS6, but installed PS Elements & Premiere Elements for a friend. Now I have a whole raft of fonts that I don't want, & don't need, Arabic, Korean, Hebrew and who knows what else. I can't delete them, "Protected system files" the warning says. And there are others, like ADMUI2LG Regular, are those needed for functionality? No Koreans or Arabs are ever going to use this machine, unless it's stolen perhaps, and I'm not being racist, I just want to cut the cr*p. If I use File Assassin to delete them will CS 6 stop working? Or will Big Brother System just recreate them?
I cannot access my fonts menu. The drop down menu is blank box and snaps shut. I also have trouble with "save as" and file format...ie save as jpg...the drop down quickly snaps shut, I can often catch it after several tries but seriously lol.
These issues have something to do with user settings...I made a secondary account and the program works fine but changing between accounts is not the best solution. Where/what I need to look at in user settings ?
Been using gimp a while, but today gimp refused to open my file system. Apart from my most recently used folder, the entire file system was greyed out. In fact the 'open' and 'open as layers' dialogues became non-responsive.
I am running 2.8.4. on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
I have already restarted and re-installed, and updated to most recent from 2.8.2.
I believe a dwg I am trying to access is affected by the acad.vlx virus as an alert comes up to check autodesk for solution (ID: TS13717811) however the published solution doesn't seem to work for the latest version of AutoCAD LT 2012Â as it asks me to access a file in the support folder which doesn't exist on my system.
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 have put some new fonts into C:/windows/fonts and they have come up in other programs e.g. Microsoft office but they are not showing up in photoshop.
i am using vista home premium with SP1 and it is 32bit and photoshop cs4.
how to get Gimp to only showfonts from the user/fonts file rather than the vast amount of system fonts.
I think you should read the original mail again. Hint: "system fonts not shown" is not the problem, but the desired outcome.I have accidentally read a "not" into the original mail, thus it became "to get Gimp to *not* only show fonts from the user/fonts file"
The configuration to check is the fonconfig settings then, for example the the global, system-wide fonts.conf file. It may contain references to the global font directories, for example /usr/share/fonts/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. URL....
If you comment those out, then you can (and have to) add all font directories in GIMP's settings, for example.
My system info of pse 7 tells me that the operating system is vista while I'm working with windows 7. It also shows a place for the catalogfile that don't exists on my computer.
I have a 32 bit PC that I recently upgraded. I put in the most amount of RAM memory I could and upgraded the system from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate.Yesterday I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 and have suddenly been having problems with the system locking up on me in the middle of a project.
Also, when first using the program I could not figure out how to get the HISTORY window to open. That is a function ALWAYS USE!!It should ALWAYS open automatically I now have it working properly, but when opening the program for the first time the HISTORY window should ALWAYS BE THERE and ready to use
I have given up hope on getting cs4 to work on my old computer (multiprocessor server board) but what about cs3? My system seems to meet the minimum requirements but I had no luck running cs4 and cs3 is not functioning properly. Can someone take a look at these specs and tell me if this system should run cs3? I know it is an old system but I have not had any problems with it since it was new and do not plan on getting rid of it any time soon.

When I use the Lasso, Polygonal Lasso and/or Magnetic Lasso Tools, my system shuts down.
This didn't always happen and the only recent change to my system was downloading/installing Adobe Reader 8 (update). To the best of my knowledge, prior to this update the all the Lasso Tools worked fine.
I searched the help section and the only information I found related to my problem was to set Adobe's 'Post Script" printer as default. I tried that and it did not help. Please note, prior to this problem, my Canon was set as my default printer and every thing worked fine then.
Should I uninstall Adobe Reader?

I have WEB standard and Design Standard and cannot get the programs to open.Is it because they are installed on a 64 bit system?Are there some patches or downloads that could help?
