fonts now showing up

in my drop down menu, I only get a few fonts, until the "E"'s and nothing after that.

Any thoughts?

That question is addressed in the FAQs.

The Frequently Asked Questions are on the same page where you added this thread.

Look for a thread titled "Font Management 1 - I have a Bazillion Fonts but can't see them all in Photoshop."

Sorry, but this is not what I was asking. I have fonts activated but they are not showing up, not even the system fonts after fonts that begin with the letter "E".

For instance I do my drop down, and Helvetica, which is activated, is not showing up.

here is what my drop down looks like at the bottom.

you need a font manager and only activate the fonts you need.

Sorry, but this is not what I was asking.

You have way too many fonts activated.
