Loaded Type 1 Fonts Fail in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

[Erwin Denissen]

Several customers have reported issues with loaded Type 1 fonts not showing in Adobe software like Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. It doesn't matter if you use CS4, CS5, CS5.5 or CS6; all these products refuse to show these Type 1 fonts.

From what we have experienced so far; Adobe software needs to know the location of available Type 1 fonts, so these fonts have to be installed; loading is just not good enough, and will fail.

If you happen to know a solution that allows you to use loaded Type 1 fonts, do let us know. In the mean time, if you need a Type 1 font, do install it through MainType, and it will become available within your Adobe products!
