I am using OSX with Photoshop CS. Only fonts "A" through "C" are showing up in Photoshop. Any ideas?

This has been discussed here many times. Please do a forum search on font limit.

Get a font management utility like FontAgent Pro (FAP) and activate only a few fonts at a time, just the ones you need for the job at hand.

‘Suitcase’ font management program also works perfectly with OSX.

It just seems that all of the people who post font-related problems on the CS forums are using either Suitcase, FontReserve or FontBook.

FAP-users don’t seem to have these problems.

FAP 2.1 works so well I have not even made any sets yet.

Ken,

As I’ve stressed before, I was one of the earliest supporters of Suitcase, having been a beta tester for Steve Brecher when Suitcase was essentially a one-man operation. Then Steve sold it and it went downhill after that.

Later, Adobe came out with ATM Deluxe and ATR and there was no need for any other font management utility through Mac OS 9.2.2. When Adobe decided not to support ATM Deluxe in OS X, I went back to investigate Suitcase, then at version 10. Well, Suitcase 10 was so buggy and the Suitcase Engine caused so many crashes in Classic and in straight, native 9.2.2, that, reluctantly, I couldn’t consider it seriously any longer.

FontAgent Pro is still far from perfect and it still lacks the flexibility of ATR, but the latest version leaves Suitcase in the dust.
