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?

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?

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!

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.
