There are several, even many fonts which, although they are installed and show up in other applications, do not appear in the PS Elements 2 font list.

What is the reason for this? And, is there any way to correct it?

I’m not a font person myself so have only a marginal knowledge on this subject. But, aren’t there different kinds of fonts? Could it be that some aren’t compatible with Elements?

And/or, are all of these fonts actually installed in the System>Fonts folder of your hard drive? I pretty sure that’s the only source Elements uses.

Hello All,

Yes, all of these fonts are in the system fonts folder.
It’s clearly not a question of incompatibility because very often only one font from a larger installed font family shows up in the list,i.e. Helvetica Light shows up, but not Helv.Med, or Helv. Bold.

It’s a very irritating mystery. I find that I have to use other applications in order to access the fonts which don’t show up in PSE.

I had the same problem but the only font that won’t display is a custom font that our Language department needs. I removed all but 140 fonts and still had the problem. I uninstalled the software from the Win2000 PC and reinstalled it on a Win98 PC and the font appeared. Any suggestions on how to get it to work in Win2000?
