I just recently switched from much older photoshop CS4 to CC version…is there a version of Main Type, or app that works with it? The most recent post I could find was 2015. Thanks.
MainType works with all software, but we discontinued the automatic activation plugin.
So is there a way to activate it manually and use MainType still with Photoshop CC? i am really struggling with how it manages fonts. TIA
So learning more about how my fonts are now duds because Adobe CC doesn’t support…have used extensive in a project before switching to newer Adobe.
Questions:
- does High Logic offer a conversion tool for Type 1 fonts to OTF? Would much prefer to stay with company I know and trust if you do.
- you wrote: “but we discontinued the automatic activation plugin” So you have a manual plug in now that I can use?
- If I download OTF or TTF and install with MT, will see it in Photoshop CC?
Thanks
Fonts will become available in your software as soon as you install them through MainType.
I am still struggling with using my Main Type to manage fonts, I am switching back and forth between PHotoshop CC and understand that it only uses the OTF or TT fonts, but I still need to be able to manage the times I use my older Adobe CS4 with Indesign and Illustrator, which used to work fine with fonts. Now when I try and uninstall some of them so list is not so long they disappear. See attachment.
Do I need to rebuild the directories, looks like my computer guy has fonts all over the place, or what? Very difficult to get work done right now.
The attachment is when I try and uninstall fonts I use rarely. Always worked perfectly, now they disappear…please some help, thanks.
Two things that are important:
-
We strongly recommend you use the latest version of MainType, as several bugs have been fixed and numerous features have been added over the years.
-
Adobe has announced that they will end support for creating content with Type 1 fonts by January 2023. So better stop using them altogether.
