Downgrading.

I have a document that uses the Trade Gothic family of fonts. I have it installed as a fontbook font, on an iMac running Catalina 10.15.7, using the latest 2022 build of Photoshop. Yesterday, I opened the document again, and it said Trade Gothic was missing. The font loads properly in every other program, including other Adobe progams, but no longer appears in photoshop, neither in this document or in a new clean document. The strangest thing is when I tried to open this document on another computer, a new MacBook Pro running Monterey and using the same build of Photoshop, it *also* stopped seeing trade gothic.

 

I've tried everything on this page, I've tried reinstalling the font from multiple sources, I've tried reinstalling photoshop... nothing seems to work.

Adding more info, the specific build of photoshop is 23.0.2.

If I open the "AdobeFnt_OSFonts.lst" document in a text editor, it does not list trade gothic despite it being in the fonts folder. If I duplicate the trade gothic fonts and rename them, it DOES list them, but declares them "invalid", ie:

%BeginFont
Handler:CoreTextHandler
FontType:Invalid
OutlineFileName:file:///Library/Fonts/TradeGothic2/Trade%20Gothic2%20Bitmapped%20Fonts#postscript-name=TradeGothic-Bold
%EndFont

Hi.

My System: Mac mini (2018) OS v11.6, 3,2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB Ram.

Since the Update to PS v23.0.2 my Font ITC Avant Garde Gothic LT is not longer available in Photoshop.

 

In v 22.x. the font is still available and usable. It´s not the year 2023 yet, so Adobe said, that Type-1 Fonts are still usable. And in Illustrator v26.0.1 an InDesign v17.0.1 the font is available and usable...

Where is the Problem???

 

Please help.

Thanks. Have been receiving the warnings in InDesign saying it would happen in 2023. Was not aware that each application was on a different schedule. Good grief.

Seabiar, that's because Adobe is no longer supporting Type 1 Postscript fonts. They started with Photoshop, and the same will happen with Illustrator and InDesign in the near future. You can see if Interstate is including in Adobe Fonts, or you'll have to purchase the Open Type version of Interstate. I also have the entire Interstate font family and will have to do the same 😕😕

If you read the entire thread, you'll see that PS has discontinued support of TrueType fonts. Your choices are to either downgrade to earlier version of PS, purchase new Opentype versions of your fonts, or a converter like TransType 4.

I am working with Photoshop 2022 on  MacOS 11.3.1.

Suddenly I am unable to see the Interstate font family (Type 1) in Photoshop. I use Suitcase Fusion v22.0.0 as a font management program. The fonts are active in Suitcase and are visible in InDesign and Illustrator. I have cleared font caches and reset preferences in Photoshop. I have re-imported the fonts into Suitcase, restarted, and done everything else I can think of. Any ideas?

Wow, I'm glad I didn't remove PS 2021 when I updated. Won't be using 2022+ I guess until I have no choice..

Hi Pagalina, thanks for your response, but I realized the font not showing up is an old Type 1 font which Adobe is phasing out of. Then I went up to Adobe Fonts and activated that font and it miraculously showed up in Photoshop.

You can downgrade to a previous version of Photoshop. and then convert the text to shapes so it won't rely on the font going forward.

Yes, I just upgraded my Mac OS to Monterey, and Photoshop to 23.0.1. I'm trying to make updates to a client website, and the font for their logo (ITC Fenice) is no longer showing up. Do I need to purchase and OpenType version of the font?
