Question

Font doesn't work in Photoshop

Hey Everyone!

I was in MS Word 2007 the other day when I found a perfect font for a title. Knowing that I'd want to use it in other formats, I opened up Photoshop & InDesign to create a larger version of it. However, Photoshop refuses to use the font (you select the font and it just disappears). I did a little research on the internet and found out that the font I'm trying to use, Gautami, is supposed to look like this:

However, I opened up the otf file and got this preview (which is what I'm looking for!)

Here it is in MS Word:

And now in Photoshop:

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Did my fonts get switched up somehow? I'm dying to use the font as seen in the Word document 😕😕

Thanks a lot for your time!

    LOL - apparently, word automatically put it in Arial because it can't interpret that font. Thanks and sorry for bothering!

    You've got it all wrong.  The english/latin character positions in Gautami are in fact Arial. Gautami also supports the telugi character set.

    To see it completely, run Charmap (Start/Run/Charmap).

    How you access the telugi glyphs may be different between Adobe and MS products. There have also been a number of different versions of Gautami delivered with different versions of Windows. At least one of them didn't have any glyphs at all in the positions for the latin (ABC) characters.
