Font Filtering Not Working

[adamr43650735]

Photoshop filtering is not working. All my fonts are in the list, when I go to script filter it shows nothing. This is so frustrating as I use this all the time. Please help.

How many fonts do you currently have activated?

[adamr43650735]

I have 900 plus on my computer, it used to work where I would filter to decorative and it would list them. Now nothing, I re validated fonts in font book. It lists them all in the all class list but not filtered. Please any solutions would hlp as this is major issue for me using.

This was suggested in another post:

Navigate toC:\Users\(Your User ID)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (version)\Delete the CT Font Cache and Font Feature Cache folders.

Relaunch PS and it will rebuild the font caches.

Wait - you mentioned Font Book. Are you on a Mac?

If so go here:

Macintosh HD:Users:(User Name):Library:Application Support:Adobe:Adobe Photoshop (version):CT Font Cache and FontFeatureCache and remove.

Relaunch PS to rebuild your PS font cache.

If that doesn't work what Mac OS are you running?

Yes that worked. Thank you very mcuh, you are a life saver.

I for whatever reason do not have a FONT CACHE FOLDER. After i click adobe, the only folder i have is presets. and within that folder i just have Brushes, shapes, Gradients, and styles

@Roberts, Dalyn5CA4 on a Mac? Hold option key while going to Finder menu GO to show the user library. Sounds like you are in the application folder.

I also don't have a cache folder when I follow this path. I have "AMT," "AddOnModules," and "PDF." Do you happen to have any other suggestions. Thank you!

Hello! I was looking for answers to this problem and tried going into preferences to find something. I was able to get font filtering working again in Illustrator by going Preferences>File Handling>Fonts>Auto-Activate Adobe Fonts

I expected this to only help with adobe fonts but all fonts started working!

It's working bro.. Thanks a lot 

[adamr43650735]

Why is this still an issue Adobe. I still every few weeks have to trash cache folders to get it to rebuild.

Hi @adamr43650735 you should invest in a font management program like Extensis Connect instead of the free Mac Font Book. That will help manage these issues intead of you doing it manually.

Is there something similar for Windows? I just got a new machine, and I'm having this issue... Thinking something that organizes my fonts would be wise at this point anyway. I spend far too much time "looking for the right one".
