P: Helvetica Neue Bold doesn't render spaces under Lion

Loaded up some PSDs that I had created in Snow Leopard after installing Lion and they looked fine... except for one thing. Anywhere that I used Helvetica Neue Bold there were no spaces in between words anymore.

This issue doesn't occur in anything else other than Photoshop (I've actually also seen it in Illustrator). Tried clearly Adobe font cache, multiple times... no dice. It would be very awesome to get a solution on this because it's preventing me from using that font, which is used quite often.

    Hey Adam - If adobe/apple figure out a fix for this do you think we will need to reverse this process in order to move forward without errors?

    This fix worked for me as well.

    Let's hope there is a quick fix for the problem. To some that may not be a big deal, but for iOS developers, a working Helvetica Neue Bold is a necessity.

    We'll work with Apple on this issue. Adobe applications aren't the only ones affected. Sounds like even Safari is bitten by this issue.

    I can confirm that the above works on CS3 (only tested Photoshop). Thanks for the fix, Adam!

    I've tested CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS5.1 and the problem only occurs with CS3 and CS4.

    Likewise very pleased to see the Adobe crew are on the case! I'd have to admit that when this issue first raised it's ugly (and very bold) head, I was wondering if Apple had made some changes to the handling of the typeface in question with the Lion update ; by the looks of things, they have!

    Why did you delete it?

    Agreed! Thanks.

    As for the HelveticaNeueDeskUI.ttc, I deleted that from my System/Library/Fonts folder, but it still exists in that deep rooted folder.
