I updated my Macbook pro to catalina a few days ago, and everything is broken. Photoshop is doing strange things. My Font Explorer utility with all my fonts doesn't work with it. 

 

Had to pay to upgrate Clean my mac so itworks with catalina.

 

All my Adobe fonts do not show up in photoshop.....

 

I am so pissed!

    As my Adobe apps -- photoshop, etc. -- were all updated to 2020 versions, things work again. I can't even remember all the things I had to do to upgrade and re-jigger other apps, but it's all working smoothly again.  But *how frustrating* and irresponsible that Mac would release Catalina w/o a warning that the current Adobe apps weren't compatible! Cautionary tale: I will never be in a hurry to upgrade again.

    Margaret_B__Moss, good evening.
    Since macOS Catalina has just been released (from Apple), it is in the process of being fixed with some defects (the same as last year's Mojave).

    Please refer to this.

    (There is no description about the font matter, but it probably has an effect)
    I think it's better to upgrade the OS itself until it stabilizes for a while.

    Also, if you submit a bug report here, it will be fixed soon.
