Hi Alejandro.  I have zero experience with Photoshop for the Web, but I've had a look and it I can see it uses what we cal Faux styles for text.  That means it uses the Regular font, and thickens it via the drop down options.  It shows as Montserrat in the font list, but I am not convinced it is a separate font.

You are saying that it is changing to a completely different font?  

Is this a document you have created previously, saved and reopened, or did you create it in your current session before it presented the Bold issue?

I don't have Montserrat in my system fonts, so these fonts are coming from the Adobe server, which means it has nothing to do with your system fonts.

 

So I am a bit stuck as to what might be going on with your situation. Are you sure that the font change took when you set it to Montserrat?  I ask because that can be a bit hit and miss if you don't get the workflow dead right.

 

If you are still stuck, then screen shots might help.

Hi @Alejandro33076640sufq, welcome to the community! 

Could you share more details about the issue? What version of Photoshop and operating system are you using? Is this happening with other fonts as well, or is Montserrat Bold the only one affected? How did you install the font?

Thanks a lot!

Alek

Hello,

I'm using Photoshop Web. The selected fonts do not change as desire, they
go to a generic sans font. I'm using different font variations in the same
paragraph. All "Montserrat" variations work, but when selecting the "Bold"
variation, the font changes completely to the generic font.

Still have the problem. Cannot understand how to fix it.
