1. Some of the fonts I install (3rd party) in Font Book show up in the Font Book folder but not in the Illustrator Font Family menu.

2. When I open a new Illustrator file it selects the default font. If I specify a different font in a text block it changes to that font. If I return and select one of the letters it automatically changes to the default font.

Those 2 problems are probably unrelated. The second one: try and uncheck "Missing glyph protection" in the preferences.

For the first one: which fonts are they? Something from dafont?

Do the fonts appear after rebooting the computer?

Thanks for your help. Turning off "Missing glyph protection" seems to have solved both problems!

Oh, wow. I wouldn't have thought that.

Thank you for the added info.
