hi, photoshop is not recognizing my arial black font in my windows fonts directory. i was wondering if there is anything i can do to get it to show up. actually i think photoshop is ignoring all of my windows fonts if photoshop comes with its own fonts. flash is not recognizing my native windows fonts like arial black either. any help greatly appreciated. derek
edit-its recognizing newly installed fonts i add to the fonts directory, but not arial black for some reason.

I have heard of there being too many fonts if you have additional fonts installed - requiring you to use some kind of font manager. Otherwise a possible answer from yahoo answers:

The font arial is already installed in photoshop. If you click the black arrow next to the drop down box that says regular, it will give you all of the options for using the arial font. Black, bold, italic, etc..

The font is listed as just arial in photoshop.

Otherwise if those two options don't help I would be curious where you got your copy of photoshop from and if it was missing any features. If you bought a new copy as opposed to a "used" copy then you've got plenty of support over at the adobe forums waiting for you.

Depends on what version of PHotoshop. Too many fonts was a problem with earlier versions of PS, but not with more recent versions.

awesome thanks very much.,it is listed, its just listed in the dropdown box next to "arial" thank you. derek
