Hi,

My first post here, I’ve used older photoshop products in the past and without a problem I was able to use the Arial Black font, and was able to select bold, Italics, etc…

Can someone confirm that there is a problem, as in the new version I cannot Choose bold, Italics and so on from the Dropdown list, only with Arial black.

My other products on my computer such as Dreamweaver and and MS products allow the choice.

Charles,

Are you sure Arial Black Italic is installed on your machine?

Yes, the font works fine in every program I have on my system aside from the PS Suite that’s installed.

I can use it regularly in PS as well. Just cannot bold or Italisize it, the dropdown bar for it is completely disabled, greyed out.

Charles, it is possible you don’t actually have Arial Black Italic on your machine. Some products (notably MS products) will create a fake bold and fake italic if one is not available. Adobe products don’t. Are you using ATM?

another thing to try if you’re sure you have it is to search for adobefnt*.lst on your system and delete any occurances of that file. that’ll force adobe apps to rebuild their font lists in case that’s the problem. if the font is on your system, it should be added at that point.

It was established years ago that this is flat out evil. 🙂
