Question

Single Style of Font not Available in Any Adobe Programs

I have been using Nofret for all of my business correspondence for years. All of a sudden within the last couple of weeks, one style, the Light Italic, refuses to show up in any of my Adobe programs. It is available in my Microsoft and Apple programs

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font in FontExplorer Pro, rebooting the applications...no go.

I am using CS2 on a G4 PowerPC.

Any clues as to why this single style would disappear when all of the other styles of that font are available? Can I get it back?

    By any chance are you using a Font Manager on the same system? Because just last the same thing happen to me and I may just have a answer for you....

    Why, yes, I use FontExplorer X and recently upgraded from the free version to Pro. I was pretty sure that the updgrade didn't coincide with the font dissapearance, but I've been known to be wrong... I was just looking here yesterday and was disappointed that nobody had replied! I look forward to hearing your possible solution. Thanks.

    Ok For some reason or another 2 days ago a font by the name of QuickSand was

    not appearing in my font choices through the program illustrator. So

    I uninstalled the font through the font manager and then why I tried to

    uninstall the font through my system folders (Windows 7) I receive a dialog

    that the font was in use. That made me believe that somehow the system was

    stuck on retrieving the front through illustrator (which was the last

    program I used) or through the font manager or somehow the font

    became corrupt. Hence, since you have already tried uninstalling the font

    through the font manger and that did not work delete the front from you

    system folder, but before you do I hope you have a back up of that font it

    not make one first or download the font again from the net. Since you are

    using a Mac and I do as well there could be three locations in which you

    have chose to store your fonts at /Library/Fonts:

    There's also /System/Library/Fonts.

    Fonts are divided up into different folders so that Mac OS X can keep its

    own collection of fonts (/System/Library/Fonts), you can install additional

    fonts for all users (/Library/Fonts), and any user can have personal fonts

    as well (/Users/username/Library/Fonts).

    So long story short uninstall & delete the font through your font manager

    and all other locations and then reinstall and of course perform a shut

    down. That's what worked for me, Hope that helps
