installed fonts not showing up in programs

gsfmark

I have 502 fonts installed on my computer, (867 single processor G4 powermac 640 RAM) and some that i know are installed are not showing up. For instance, Curlz MT is the font my friend uses for IMing.



while annoying to read, it is more annoying knowing that I have the font installed, but can't see it.



Also, i downloaded a font called Freebooter today. Installed it. Fontbook shows it, says it is enabled (same with curlz) but it doesn't show up in photoshop..





what's the deal? anyone know?

burningwheel

did you put them in the right font folder?

gsfmark

definitely. they're in Calvin(my hard drive)/Library/Fonts



anyone?

maybe the font is corrupted



FontReserve or ATM (Classic only) might be able to repair them

funny thing is, - vice versa to your experience - that some apps of mine show fonts that i have removed already. office X e. g. constantly shows fonts, which i have removed already. just because i once used/installed some particular fonts (all postscript level 1 and 2) and used them in some office documents. It is pretty odd, and i have not the faintest clue



EDIT: oh i forgot to answer you some apps are pretty much sensitive to fonts, especially if they are old postscript fonts. I have a huge amount of postscript fonts, which perfectly worked in 9, but refused to load in 10.3. 10.2 did the job. another oddity, i guess.



helpfull?

I've had fonts show up in Photoshop as a different name than the font file. Also, some of my fonts show up below the asian fonts.
