Font Filtering Not Working

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. 

    Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

    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?

    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".

    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!

      How many fonts do you currently have activated?

      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.
