Can anybody help me? Why Photoshop is doing that?
I even reboot my computer. I'm working with Windows XP and Photoshop CS3. Thanks.

    Isa,

    Then you need to review and validate this font. No idea how you created it, or if the software you used to create it is good or used correctly.

    If your font doesn't appear in all applications, yet it is installed and activated the same way as the other fonts recognized by Photoshop, would tend to indicate font corruption or duplicate activated fonts.

    But, if you have a gazillion fonts activated in Photoshop, know that Photoshop has a limit on how many fonts can be active simultaneously (at least on the Mac side). But if you have that many fonts activated, you need a good font manager. That many activated fonts creates excessively long font menus and slows down system performance.

    Hi Don and Neil, thanks for the help
    The font is one that I've created to make a website, is related to a logo that I've created. I've installed just the way I've intaled all my fonts. I see the font in Word, Illustrator, Flash an all the other programs that I have except in Photoshop. It's strange! Can you help me?

    Also, be sure the font is installed where the other fonts that are recognized by Photoshop are installed.

    You will find that PS sorts fonts by different order than other programs. Do a search through the entire list, you might find it somewhere else (tell us the font name, and we might be able to help further).
