hello uighur
last week i had problem like yours and can’t do anything to solve the problem. believe me , it is helpless to restore your default system fonts, cause it didn’t work for me in default.
mine is XP as well.
adobe photoshop are absolutely rubish. wonder why they sell fucking products around the globe. think they must do something for you. what are these support forums for?

I just had the same problem opening graphics in GL templates, and just fixed it – Below is (in part) from an earlier post by LenHewitt – NOV. 2002 – it worked for me but I only have Win98SE, PS 7.0.1

I don’t know how to link to it so I just pasted it in below.

THANKS LEN!!!!

BTW – asking for a refund on the PS cd seems a bit hasty. I mean, after all – these ARE computers we’re dealing with here!

"It’s possible that Windows System font has been deleted from your machine.

However, before trying to find which one, open Windows Explorer, do a search for adobefnt*.LST files and delete them. (Don’t worry, they will be rebuilt by the Adobe application that created them). That may solve the problem."
