Legit fonts from legit foundries that appeared in PS2021 are not appearing in 2022.

Downgrading.

    Per my experience, checking the indenting has solved the problem for me. Looks like it comes with the 'justify' options. What has worked for me has always been to press the "Enter" key from the first word that begins the line that gets missing.

    The font family "Meta" in my user fonts is no longer recognized in PS 2022. I opened an old file that was previously perfect (about two years ago) and am getting error messages. I cleared the font cache, reset preferences, closed and reopened, deleted and re-installed the font, updated PS, restarted the computer, and it still is not recognizing it. 

     

    I'm running Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1 and the very latest version of PS. 

     

    Please help! I can't use a substitute font because this one is baked into my logo and I need it to match. Thank you!

    Yes the issue is still present. I doubt that Adobe is going to add support for Type 1 fonts back into their type engine.

    Some fonts on PS 2022 will show up in font menu but will be greyed out and not usuable, even though they are active within my font manager. I must open and use the file in PS 2021 to be able to use the font. (PS 2021 does not have this issue)

     

    I'm using the latest M1 Macbook Pro

    Adobe has announced the end of Postscript Type 1 fonts… It was supposed to take effect on January 2023 but maybe they advanced it…

    Having used Photoshop since 1992 I'm staggered by Adobe's decision to stop supporting Type1 fonts - anyone who works in the design industry will have collected a huge number of various type fonts over the years and for Adobe to say 'hey try an alternative' is not going to wash with clients. It's not about getting the message out there - it's actually about understanding what users need - this is a classic case of a big corporate becoming deaf to what it's core users require.

      Yes it is ridiculously frustrating.
      This is the problem : Adobe stopped supporting some older font file formats. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/asian-scripts.html

      These older fonts continue to work in other Adobe app’s like After Effects and Premier.

      NOTE: The older font types continue to work in Photoshop 2021. So downgrading may be a solution.

      In the meantime it would be great if Adobe would provide a way to migrate these older font file types.

        Can someone at Adobe please explain why half of the fonts I regularly use in Photoshop are not appearing but there are lots of useless Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, etc fonts that I never use active that I can not get rid off but all my fonts work in Illustrator! Come on Adobe please fix this as this is madness and so frustrating! I'm paying a lot of money for something that isn't working properly here.

        Ever since I updated to the newest version of Photoshop, fonts I have activated in Suitcase Fusion aren't showing in the app. Any advice?

        I've been using Photoshop to create transparent PNGs from PDFs. The basic workflow is as follows:

        1. Create PDF (using LaTeX)

        2. Open PDF in Photoshop

        3. Export as PNG via File > Export > Quick Export as PNG

        This worked as expected as recently as Photoshop 2001 (22.5.6):

         

        With Photoshop 2022 (23.2.1), the text is now rendered as dots (both in the application and in the exported PNG):

         

        Platform: MacBook Pro (M1)

        OS: MacOS Monterey (12.2.1)

         

        The original PDF is attached to this post.

        I suspect the fonts you're using are type 1 fonts which are no longer supported. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-missing-type-1-fonts-after-photoshop-23-0-update/idi-p/12480988

        Running Photoshop 23.1.1 (latest update as of today) Mac OS 12.2.

        Font (Gotham) is available and functioning in Illustrator and inDesign. Will not load in Photoshop and will replace that font in documents where it was used. This font worked fine in PS previously.

        Tried deleting the PS font cache in /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop.

        no help...

        Font Management: Suitcase Fusion Version 22.0.0 (10183)
