Fonts installed - available through programs - do not appear in C:\Windows\Fonts? Why?

Slowly, I'm losing my mind here! I have a few fonts installed; specifically, variants of Helvetica Neue and Janson Text Std LT.

If I use something, say, Photoshop, all my installed fonts and all their variants appear and operate as it should, so I'm assuming that the fonts are, indeed, properly installed; looking at my fonts via the Control Panel, however, some variations do not appear! For example, I have several weights of Helvetica Neue: 45, 55, 65, 75, etc. When I opened C:\Windows\Fonts, some of these variants do not appear! The same thing with the family of Janson Text: I see only the "BOLD" weight, even though Regular, Italic and Bold Italic are also installed.

If I browse the directory on the command line, I see the files of fonts listed... and actually, I see some files have weird duplicate names (almost: things like "_0" or "_1" annex...) I will try cleaning that upward, but if it does not work... :(

Thanks for the tips!

Edit: I tried manually removing some of these strange filenames, but I get an access denied message. In addition, I can't change the attributes of the font files, either...

Edit 2: I started in Mode safe mode, deleted the font files, delete C:/Windows/system32/FNTCACHE. DAT and restarted, but the displayed fonts in C:\Windows\Fonts still aren't reflecting precisely what is installed... :(

Hi Bgoulette612,

The fonts are probably hidden. Windows can hide fonts that are not designed for your input language settings. You can let Windows show and hide fonts automatically, or you can choose to display all fonts installed on your computer in your programs

1. Click here to open fonts.

2. in the left pane, click font settings.

3. clear the check box hide fonts based on language settings .

4. click on OK

If the fonts were previously hidden, they will be visible now.

That solve the problem?

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  • According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the section 'printers and faxes '.

    You have a printer again, with installation CD. According to the set printer wizard, my new printer software has been installed, but the printer will not appear on the "printers and faxes" section in Control Panel. Model of printer - Epson XP-200.  Have a Dell, Windows XP.  Help!  Not even sure who to ask...

    What version of XP (Home, Pro, Media Center) and service pack (none, 1, 2, 3)?

  • Why when I choose a photo in the library grid view it does not appear in the window to develop up to selected in the Filmstrip below?

    Why when I choose a photo in the library grid view it does not appear in the window to develop up to selected in the Filmstrip below?

    It was the strangest thing, but I think I solved the problem. Use the CC version 2015.1 on a Wacom tablet using Win 8.1 and inadvertently from the same batch of photos, I had downloaded twice and it was very confusing because it did not prevent the duplication of files, but the files where not really there. I didn't know whether to remove or delete the files with question marks for fear of destroying a link or something so merged files and now everything works as it should, once chosen in the library that the photo appears in develop mode.

  • When I install Greasemonkey. Firefox does not load. The process is, but the program does not appear. Even if no script installed. I have Aurora

    It was working fine until one time I don't know what happened.

    I've been OCing things lately so don't know if this has something to do with it. But I have the last Aurora and Greasemonkey and for some reason loads of process, but not the program. It appears at all.

    I had no idea what was originally there and a little started to remove one by one and found out who he was.

    I even tried to remove all scripts, but that has not worked.

    Tampermonkey works fine with Chrome atm. So, I do not understand. I have roughly the same installed scripts.

    For any information would help. I tried to ask questions about greasemonkey, but nothing at this ATM. My problem seems a bit unique, so I post here to possibly discover this. It bothers me not not using my scripts, I love.

    Could be that:

    Firefox Nightly invisible w / Greasemonkey 1.13 beta 5 & 6

    Recommend:

    Please try 1.14beta1 if this is still the case for you:

    Please, I beg you!

  • Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

    My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

    Hi homeWJ,

    Method 1

    See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

    When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

  • The 2007 Microsoft Office programs do not appear in the list of default programs

    Hey there - I'll have a few courses of weird stuff.

    I have both OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office 2007 is installed on my Windows 7 computer and I would like to use Microsoft Office as the default for all files, it can open, but he does not appear in the list of default programs.

    Indeed, with the exception of Microsoft Office Outlook, none of my Microsoft Office 2007 applications appear in the list of default programs!

    OpenOffice.org appears, and when I click on it in the list and click Choose defaults for this program of the defaults are already defined for the equivalent Microsoft Office application.  But there are some associations (such as text files) that are not correctly linked and possibly others that I don't know.  I would like to click Microsoft Word, and then click set this program as default so that it automatically opens all the files it can.

    I appreciate the help that you might be able to offer.

    If you click on all programs above the Orb in the list you will find Microsoft Office 2007, click the folder and it opens to reveal Word, excel etc. You can right-click on the word etc. and choose PIN to the start menu or the taskbar somewhere else.

    Hello
    I've updated to the latest version of flash player 11.4.402.287 today, the two versions of activex or plugin appear in flash Manager. However, I'm unable to play youtube flash videos, the bar at the top shows "Install missing plugin" I repeated the installation process, it does not appear to complete successfully, but even once when trying to play youtube videos, the "install missing plugin appears" and the videos will not play.

    I have also installed and re installed the last version of firefox today, thought that can help, seem to have the same problem. The flash player is not listed in the plugin adds on the list. I don't know what else to do, or what could be the problem.

  • the print shop program does not appear in the "open with".

    When I use a USB to import images or graphics from the menu drop-down 'open with' does not include printing in option. The only programs that are on the list are microsoft progams

    Just to be clear, are you saying that you selected after the print shop to open a file in the "open with > Select default program", it still does not appear?

    Assuming that is correct, as even after opening a file with The Print Shop, try to create a new user account and perform the same steps and see if it appears correctly or not. Assuming that it does, you can follow the steps in the link below corrupt profile to transfer your files to the new account.
