I installed a TrueType font thatI've created and it doesn't show up in Photoshop,but it does show

Can anybody help me? Why Photoshop is doing that?
I even reboot my computer. I'm working with Windows XP and Photoshop CS3. Thanks.

You will find that PS sorts fonts by different order than other programs. Do a search through the entire list, you might find it somewhere else (tell us the font name, and we might be able to help further).

Also, be sure the font is installed where the other fonts that are recognized by Photoshop are installed.

Hi Don and Neil, thanks for the help
The font is one that I've created to make a website, is related to a logo that I've created. I've installed just the way I've intaled all my fonts. I see the font in Word, Illustrator, Flash an all the other programs that I have except in Photoshop. It's strange! Can you help me?

Isa,

The font is one that I've created to make a website




Then you need to review and validate this font. No idea how you created it, or if the software you used to create it is good or used correctly.

If your font doesn't appear in all applications, yet it is installed and activated the same way as the other fonts, would tend to indicate font corruption or duplicate activated fonts.

But, if you have a gazillion fonts activated in Photoshop, know that Photoshop has a limit on how many fonts can be active simultaneously (at least on the Mac side). But if you have that many fonts activated, you need a good font manager. That many activated fonts creates excessively long font menus and slows down system performance. It also

Not on the PC side, but one bad font will stop the program, and this means that too many fonts can be dangerous. (Chris Cox, a PS programmer, is my source on this one.)

I've never heard this before. In my experience, Windows and Adobe apps generally just don't recognise incorrectly constructed fonts and I've never known such a font to crash or otherwise disrupt an app like Photoshop.

On W2K and later PCs, you can easily have several thousand fonts installed and active.

Hi Neil. I used FrontCreator 5.6 to create the font. I have 1074 fonts installed in my PC. What you suggest as a font manager?

Thanks for all the help from all of you

I should have been more clear. Photoshop sometimes will not load if it runs into a badly built font. You are correct that it does not crash.

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