For some reason, Arial Black is not appearing in my font list within Photoshop. I know it is installed on my computer, because I can use it with MS Word and other applications.

How can I get Photoshop to add this font as well?

Arial Black shows up for me just below Arial. If you don’t see it, perhaps your version of Arial Black is corrupt. One possible workaround: Select Arial and see if you have Black as a font style.

That’s just it, I do not. And if the font file was corrupt, why would I be able to access/use it in MS Word and not Photoshop?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font?

Because M$ is not so fussy.

Do you have Office 2007 installed? If so, some of the Arial variants are miscoded and don’t show up. I don’t remember all the details but the fix was find a machine with Office 2003 or earlier and copy the fonts from there.

Also, look through the entire listing. Occasionally CS will place fonts in different positions. (This assumes you have a reasonable number of fonts loaded, in the low hundreds and not thousands).

Thank you all for your responses thus far.
I’ll try to respond to all follow-up inquiries here …

I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the font – didn’t work.

I have Office 2003 on my computer.

I’ll check to see if Arial Black is somewhere else in the list. Would be interesting if it is – but it hasn’t caught my eye yet.

I have Office 2007 and Arial Black shows up in PSCS2.
