Hi @TechByter, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with your favorite fonts not sticking. It's strange, alright, since it's happening in Beta, too. I can't duplicate this issue using Windows 10, Photoshop 24.2.0 Release. To test, I changed favorites, closed and started Photoshop several times, made a mix of cloud and system fonts as you have done, but my favorites remain as they should. Thanks for confirming you are running as Administrator as one elimination.
It was suggested here that this is due to Preference settings. If you haven't done a manual Preferences reset, you might try that. Instructions are here: If that doesn't make any difference, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. Let us know if you have any luck.
I still haven't found WTF (where the fonts), but I did clean the computer by reinstalling Windows. I had hoped that the problem with disappearing Favorite fonts was something dumb that Microsoft had done, but it turns out that it's something stupid Adobe has done.
@TechByter, that's too bad. Well, you can rule out Windows at least. @J453 from Adobe confirmed that font favorites are stored with Photoshop's preferences at that link I shared. So, this is an Adobe feature that isn't working for some users for some reason. If resetting Preferences doesn't fix it, you could try using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool and then reinstall Photoshop. -cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Because I just reinstalled Windows, the PS installation is new and the problem persisted. This feature did work previously and other Preferences are being maintained. I tried creating a Favorite in Illustrator and that is retained after closing and re-launching PS.
Might it be a specific font, I thought rehetorically, so I started adding faces one at a time. On the second addition (one that had been retained previously) all Favorites disappeared after I closed Photoshop.
My user is the owner of "C:\Users\willi\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Adobe Photoshop 2023 Settings" and I have full control. The system also has full control, as does the Administrators group.
@jackbrannen_pl @summerlover18 @blajblu @jhannel Blimey, there's a zillion of them. Depending on how these people have notifications set, they will be notified and hopefully respond. If Molly does not respond, PM her directly.
Sorry, Trevor.Dennis; I didn't see this until 5 Apr 2023. I had already uninstalled and reinstalled. Overall the problem is "resolved" except when the Favorites disappear. I've found that closing and reopening either the file I'm working on or Photoshop (sometimes several times) usually causes the Favorites to reappear from wherever they've gone. Sort of like playing peek-a-boo with a three year old.
When I try to change the font weight, only a few letters have their weight replaced. First, this happened on Photoshop Beta version, but I updated both of the versions at the same time, and after trying it in the current Photoshop version (v25.0), the same problem happens.
The letters affected change when I try it on the canvas, but it's still the same problem. I didn't test a lot of fonts, but the fonts that have this problem are Raleway and Outfit, both from Google Fonts. From what I've seen from other people's posts, a lot of people using fonts from Google Fonts are having this problem. We really need a way to fix this.
I'm having a problem with some fonts in this Photoshop update, Google Fonts typography is buggy with the weight variation, especially in the bolder versions. Some letters are in bold/black while most remain in regular/light. I tried reinstalling the software and fonts, I tried variable and static ones, but nothing works. Now Photoshop only recognizes font italics. Some of the fonts I'm having trouble with are "Red Hat Display" and "Figtree".
I have been using the Red Hat Display font consistently the last couple of days and now all of a sudden the font isn't working properly. The letters show up mismatched in different weights, as shown in the screenshot. I have tried both Photoshop 24.7.1 and 25.0 and get the same results. If you look at the dropdown list, you'll notice that the different weights all look the same.
I have tested other fonts and haven't had any issues. Also tried the same font in Illustrator and it works fine. My operating system is macOS. I'm desperate for a solution as I am required to use this font, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
It seems the variable font version of Red Hat Display has issue in working with recent Photoshop releases. Photoshop Dev will look into it. In the meantime, if the issue persists in the future, use static version of the font which can be downloaded from +Hat+Display.
I've tried to use a higher weight for this font, and it seems to not be applying that weight to some of the letters. Yes, I've made sure the font works by testing it in another app, and yes, I'm sure the letter has the right weight assigned. I'm using Red Hat Display which allows variable weights.
Hi @Norawee30273612zpl9, I tested it multiple ways and can confirm in Photoshop, that particular font adds weight to some letters, but not others, as shown in your capture. Black 900 displays correctly in InDesign. Even a type test on the Google font page shows it correctly. I really don't know why Photoshop is not rendering it properly. Very strange! (Windows 10; Photoshop 25.0.0 Release)
I just tested it in 24.7.1 and it seems to not work at all, having thinnest weight at values 300 and 900, and peaking at around 550. Seemingly 25.0 makes it work for some letters. I wonder what's up with the font that makes it render improperly in Photoshop. Maybe in a few versions we'll get enough letters working to complete a full sentence!
Maybe in a few versions we'll get enough letters working to complete a full sentence! Ha, that made me laugh. I spun it through all the settings and options I could think of, but I sure can't figure out what is causing it yet.
I have noticed a bug that displays the weight of a font incorrectly. Specifically, when using a bold weight of the League Spartan Google font family, all lower-case "e"s are displaying at a thinner weight. As a result, I am unable to type a bold lower-case "e". This was not an issue until the most recent update, and the issue was resolved by installing an earlier version of the software. I am sure this issue occurs with other font families. An example of the issue is attached.
The Red Hat Text font that I installed from Google Fonts is no longer properly working in Photoshop after updating to the latest version. I have had this font installed for well over a year with no issues. As seen in the photo below, the bold property does not apply to all letters anymore. I tried Adobe's troubleshooting steps with no success. I also used the FontTest.jsx script as suggested by Adobe and it showed that all fonts passed, including the Red Hat Text. Any other possible solutions?
this problem is only linked to fonts downloaded from Google Fonts. I have the same problem, but with Golos. I downloaded the font from another site and it is working. Other people who are reporting the issue coincidentally also downloaded their fonts from Google Fonts. Try downloading this font from another website. Here was the only way that worked
Hi @ktaki, I can confirm that the Adobe font Sculpin Variable in Bold and Black weights are throwing off the character error (Windows 10; Photoshop 25.0.0 Release). This means it's not only Google fonts that are affected. Can you confirm the bug and let us when we can expect a fix? Thanks! CC: @Rocketstro
Ok, I got a resolution after being bounced around and with support for several hours. They finally realized that I had to create a folder called "Fonts" in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and put the fonts there. I was thrown off because the Fonts folder already existed here, C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, and I assumed that would be the place to put them. hope this helps
I would like to install fonts for photoshop only as I am a web developer. I would like to see my page as the public does while I am developing but need the fonts in photoshop to translate the designers work. I used to just drop the fonts into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts but that folder no longer exists. I tried in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts but the fonts don'e show up when i try to edit text in photoshop
I have a similar issue. I am still working out what is going on with the font but the font I have been given to use is not in a .ttf format. I am therefore unable to install it as a font in Windows and I've been told it is a Photoshop font. Typekit is not activated on my computer and the font I must use is not in typekit.
I have come across with same problem too. You must have the .ttf extension font file to install it on C:\Windows\Fonts directory. I have sent a private message to you the webpage that you can hopefully and easily find and download the font file which you are looking for in .ttf extension.
Does anyone have any idea if I can import a font? Photoshop elements 9 has several fonts I was using for a project, but I had several issues with 9 (including uninstalling and would not update). Now have the newest elements 15, but fonts are missing that I was using... can I possibly import the fonts from 9 to 15?
