Problems activating fonts in Photoshop

[sarahpeller]

I can't figure out what's going wrong with my fonts. I have an old file that I'm trying to update, in which I used HoeflerTitling HTF LtRoman and HoeflerText Black SmallCaps. I have activated these fonts in Connect Fonts (formerly known as Suitcase Fusion). They appear to be activated. But when I search PS for the fonts, they are not there. I've tried restarting and that didn't work. The fonts are active and working in InDesign, but refuse to show themselves in Photoshop. I don't know what is causing this behavior, but it's terribly frustrating. I hope someone can shed some light on what is going on! Thanks!

Hi. HOW old is the file? If you used Postscript Type 1 fonts, they are no longer supported in Photoshop (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/postscript-type-1-font-support-has-co...). If they are that old, perhaps you can purchase newer technology versions of those fonts for current and future use.

Hello ~

The file was created in 2019. 

Hmm, yes, I believe they are type 1 fonts. I have been seeing a notice on InDesign that T1 fonts will be discontinued in 2023, so I thought I still had some time in PS. Oh well...
