Isa,

I don't know how good Font Creator is in font creation or verification. The pros tend to use apps like FontLab.

As for font management, I can only speak from a Macintosh perspective. Font Agent Pro is generally acknowledged as the best of the lot for Macs. Others Use Suitcase or Font Reserve or the free Font Explorer from Linotype. You may want to hang around for some Windows-specific responses.

Usually the problem is not the tool, but how it's wielded.

I'd get the font checked by somebody knowledgeable who is going to crack it open in a font editor, as well as use checking tools such as FontValidator (Microsoft) and CompareFamily (Adobe).

Unfortunately, said tools are not really useful to beginners right away, because you need to be able to interpret the output and understand what might and might not cause this sort of problem....

Regards,

That's not something I've ever come across either.

Neither have I. Probably both of us aren't picking up fonts from suspect sources (Warez and freeware sites). But about once a month or more someone in the PC Photoshop forum comes up with a problem of fonts missing or the program not loading.

Don,

Similar for Photoshop/Mac. The problem is often duplicate or corrupted fonts. And for Mac, a (vague) limit on how many fonts will be simultaneously recognized in the app.

Hi to all. I've decided to make a new font, a new file. This time works. Must have been some problem with the original file. Thank you all for the help. :-)
