After installing I noticed that ROCKWELL font is missing. There may be others but I used this one regularly so it is really missed. I have checked the system font folder and the old font storage folder on my windows machine and its not showing up. ADOBE, Uni, Type, Standard, Schoenecker, Mono, Kroeger, Hooge, Copy, Ceriph, REALLY??? Come on you can do better than this. All useless fonts I.M.O. Any ideas on how to get Rockwell back?

    I checked my other computers and gone from those also. You are correct on Adobe not writing over the system fonts. I just assumed that because it was after the CS5 install that the fonts changed. It was probably an auto update from microsoft that wiped it out and went unnoticed till I was getting missing font warnings in Photoshop. Thanks for all your quick responses. I am going to research on the Microsoft end.

    Dov, I believe those other fonts are all among the odd pseudo-bitmap fonts acquired by Adobe about five or six years ago for use in Flash authoring. At least most of the names are familiar from that context.

    Cheers,

    Actually, those funky fonts are in TrueType format now, but are not normally installed as part of the Creative Suite installation. They are available in a “goodies” directory. Perhaps the OP manually installed those fonts?

    Just to confirm...

    There are a number of fonts in the goodies folder.. however, many are almost totally useless.. for example, there are 15 font families:  Ceriph, Classic, Copy, Header, Hoogie, ISO, Italic, Kroeger, Lettau, Mono, Monoeger, Schoenecker, Standard, Type, and Uni.

    All the fonts in these families display badly.. regardless what system I use, and what program I use. The all appear to be pixelated.. no smoothing or anti-aliasing.  And they all look pretty much the same, regardless which family is selected.  I think I read a post somewhere that they are supposed to look like this, but I find that hard to believe... NO ONE in their right mind would ever use such ugly pixilated fonts.

    So, are they broken?  Why were they shipped with Adobe CS5? Is there some magic trick to make them work correctly?  Are they designed for a speicific system (I am using Windows 7)?

    Adobe's installers (or for that matter uninstallers) absolutely do not uninstall any of your existing fonts.

    Adobe does not install Rockwell or any of the other fonts you mention (Schoenecker, Mono, Kroeger, Hooge, Copy, Ceriph).

    I'm pretty sure no Adobe product de-installs any of your existing fonts, and Rockwell has not been bundled with any Adobe products, at least not in the past 15 years or so. So this has little to do with Adobe, unless you are just wishing they would bundle it. They only bundle fonts they own, and they don't own Rockwell.

    As Herb says, check your MS apps.
