Re: Dead fonts in photoshop

Hi Theo,

Yeah, you can copy fonts like that on a Mac too. However, if I understand Tim correctly, I don't think he's saying that his fonts are bad or corrupted. I think he's just saying that certain fonts refuse to cooperate when he tries to 'scroll' through his list of fonts in Photoshop :-)

While using the Type tool in PS, if you type a word then highlight (select) that word and also highlight the font in the font list (on the options bar) you can 'scroll' through the fonts using the arrow keys on the keyboard. As you scroll, the word you typed changes to the various fonts. But...certain fonts refuse to cooperate and stop that scrolling action. In my case there were just a few (and I didn't use them anyway) so I simply disabled them.

Thanks for jumping in and trying to help Theo!!!!
