When I got my CS4 back in the fall, I selected the SanVito font as my registration freebie. I downloaded & installed as directed, but the fonts never appeared in PS. I didn't think too much about it then because I don't do much graphic work - just photos. Then a couple weeks ago I finally got around to installing CS4 on my laptop. I got an option on another set of freebies for the 2nd registration, and picked the fonts again, remembering that they weren't showing up. Again, I downloaded & installed in accordance with the directions. All 16 files are confirmed in my "fonts" folder (sorry, using Win XP). However, if I open MS Word, only 8 of the SanVito fonts are available. Word is an old version, so OK, I can understand that it might not support all of them - maybe. But in PS, not a single one is there. This is the 2nd time now that the fonts are installed where they should be, but aren't recognized by CS4 (and are only 1/2 recognized by Word). Anyone have that problem? Any ideas on what might be preventing them from displaying? CS4 shows a ton of fonts, and I've never had a problem with any other font that I've downloaded not appearing.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

Also do a search for, and delete, all instances of adobefnt*.lst
(that extension is .LST).

Huh? You should only be registering the software once. I am surprised that you were allowed to re-register it again. You have to activate for each computer, but registration should only happen once.
And, Don - you're right, I meant activation, not registration. Register once, activate twice...
Thanks to all who responded!

Could be, but how do you tell the second setup that it's already done.
Both my PS CS4 installations demanded to be registered (no "I've registered already" option).
I selected the Sanvito pro font. After I had installed it on the second machine, PS kept on nagging me to register. After I finally did, I got the gift choice again.
This time I chose the free one month Lynda.com offer, and cheerfully learned various techniques.
If this is illegal I'll visit a shrink to have the Lynda.com experience wiped.
