Hi, I updated all of the CC apps on my machine running High Sierra and now all of the letters display on my Mac as question marks. Seems to be a font problem, but hard to resolve since I can't read anything.

Terminal works and displays its font properly.

Anyone run into this issue or have a solution?

    I may have a Solution! I downloaded Font Explorer X Pro, and after Clearing the Font Cache, and Installing what it recommended too, it seems to have fixed any lingering font issues. I'm re-attempting to download Photoshop and Illustrator CC 2018 and see if it works...I'll let you kno!

    I had this EXACT same problem! Happened to my entire OS. I had to Re-Install "High Sierra" Anyone from Adobe have any fixes?

    Open the Font Book located in your Applications folder.

    From the Font Boot menu bar click Font Book > Preferences then click:  Resolve duplicates by moving files to the Trash

    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

    If that doesn't help, back to the Font Book menu bar click File > Restore Standard Fonts

    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

    moved from Adobe Creative Cloud to File Hosting, Syncing, and Collaboration

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I saw those suggestions elsewhere and unfortunately they don't help.
