Most of my fonts aren't showing up in Photoshop. They were all there last week, and are still available in Illustrator. How do I get them back in Photoshop?

 

Correct answer Silkrooster

Try resetting your preferences. As long as your fonts are in the systems font folder, you should not have any issues.

Ctrl-k on windows or cmd-k on mac and scroll down to bottom of dialog, then select reset preferences on next start.

If you have an older version of photoshop then you need to hold down all three modifier keys when restarting photoshop.

ctrl, alt and shift on windows

cmd, opt and shift on mac

Hope this helps...

Same issue, even with Adobe fonts. Used to work fine, now all of a sudden they don't. Which one is to blame, the latest Photosop update or the latest Suitcase update? Cleaning up font cache did nothing. INFURIATING!!!! In other CC apps works as it should. All of my softwares are the latest. Mac OS 12.4

Adobe fonts not working/syncing/activating across all Adobe software.

I'm having the same issue - with Version 22.0.0. Have tried re-installing fonts over and over again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've tried resetting the the preferences too, that doesn't work either. It has to be a bug.

I'm having the same issue with my updated PS 2022... I can't load my Font Book fonts. I tried resetting the preferences and restarting my computer. It does not work!!!

That did not work. My PS, PSE and CC are up to date, and the font is in the System >Fonts folder.

Same issue here, I just typed it in a program that the font opened in, (Like MS Office, etc), then copied and pasted it into PS2020

Why it is not showing in Adobe products (I have an older Illustrator where it is not on the list either), I have no idea.  Must be a bug on Adobe's end.

Only Adobe apps are having a problem with that font.
MS Office sees it. So does the Open Suite, with all Win 10 OS build.
Looks like an  Adobe issue
