You are using Windows. What do you see in: C:\Windows\Fonts

Open that folder, and click on any font and use Ctrl A to select All

How many items does it tell you are selected at the bottom of the folder?  (yours won't be the same as mine.)

 

Restart Photoshop.  It does not have its own exclusive fonts.  It uses what is in the Windows or Mac font folder, plus any additional fonts you have added.  I would be surprised if they are not there after a restart, but if that is the case, do what Ged suggested and reset Preferences.

@Kevin327788838khr can you post a screenshot of the Photoshop interface to highlight the issue, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

I ended up restarting Photoshop and it came back to what I had. This fixed the problem.

@Kevin327788838khr  In case this happens again, you might like to have a look at this thread.  In this case they can see the font list, but it is jumping about.  It does look like there is an issue though.
