P: Duplicate Font Styles Appearing

  • July 2, 2012

Hi there,

I recently got the Adobe Cloud subscription and have discovered this problem with the font styles duplicating themselves in Photoshop. They are the same font style, but for some reason they appear multiple times. It gradually gets worse and worse as I continue to work on a file.

This has never happened before in the previous versions of Photoshop.

Here's what it looks like:

Then after awhile of working:
Screenshot #2

I am working in OSX Lion on an iMac. I've checked Font Book and any duplicate fonts have been turned "Off". I tried to delete the duplicates and use the fonts in Photoshop again, and this appears to have solved the problem... Temporarily.

It's nothing critical, but it is a tad annoying having to scroll through a huge list of duplicate font styles!

Thanks 🙂

    Did you try the steps in the link after applying the patch? Are you having these problems with all files or only a particular set?

    Thanks,
    David

    Same for me—So far, it seems to be doing the trick. I'm guessing my daily stress just went down 20%, easily. Thanks so much!

    Howdy folks,

    This problem should be solved with the 13.0.1 patcher, released today. You can find it at:

    Windows:

    Mac:

    Thanks!

    Hi Michael, here's how you can get an exported list of your fonts... It's a bit of a trick:

    1) Go to Font Book > File > "Export Fonts..."
    Keep the folder name as "Exported Fonts" and save it to your Desktop.

    2) Open Terminal and copy-paste the line below and press return:
    cd ~/Desktop/Exported\ Fonts; find . -type f | sed -e "s@^\./@@g" > ~/Desktop/Fonts.txt

    This pretty much takes the names of the folders and the files in them, then slams them into a .txt. It also does some pretty formatting so everything doesn't have a "./" in front of it.

    (I can't take credit for this one—had to ask someone much more technical to get it from files to text!)

    The problem shouldn't be directly related to a file, but some system or application state (and once it's started, it won't stop).

    I'm sure it will be useful.

    Say, how did you create that slick list of the fonts on your system? I'd like to do the same, but I'm not sure how to do it other than screen captures.

    Haha, thanks Michael! I thought I was typing too much :)

    Hopefully it's useful to the developers trying to reproduce the problem.

    I likewise have the same occurence where the problem "infects" another file that was otherwise problem-free.

    With all User Fonts removed, here is what I have on my system:
