Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with the first font I made. I saved it as a .TTF file and installed it but when I type in the text i want in photoshop it doesnt appear? The font is on the list and I have tried changing the colour and size but it still doesnt appear, any ideas?
Thanks

Just a few things that come to mind:

  • you type lower case characters, while you’ve only designed capital characters
  • the font cache is corrupt
  • the font is not recognized by Adobe Photoshop

To fix a font cache issue, follow this link:
O.S. and Application Specific Font Cache Files

Send a copy of your font directly to me, if that doesn’t work and I’ll see if I can identify the problem.

Thanks mate, it cos I only designed capital letters but I’m wanting to use the same letters for the capital for the normal. It took quite a while to add the letters is there a way of like duplicting them?
Thanks again

Within the font overview window, select the glyphs you want to duplicate
Select Copy from the Edit menu
Select the same number of glyphs you copied, or select just one glyph
Select Paste from the Edit menu

I’m having a similar problem. There are a couple things that aren’t happening. All my glyphs show up except my apostrophe and quotation marks. I can see them flash up when I type them, but they don’t appear and it isn’t just that the monitor isn’t displaying them because they don’t print either. The other thing I noticed is that in the font drop-down menu only the first glyph in the name appears and none of the rest of the letters. I originally only had capital letters but have since made lower case so they should’ve appeared in the name. I tried the fix of deleting the .tmp file but A. I couldn’t find the route the link above provided and I did a search across my computer and deleted all .tmp files. It still didn’t work. These are the only two problems I am having.

I even tried making a whole new font just for my quotation marks and apostrophe and it still didn’t work.

Thank you very much. I was having trouble finding that topic.
