[mistdreamz]

help pls...
everytime i try to type a text in photoshop using the text toolbox, a warning would appear saying a default system font could not be found...i am really confused as i have checked the 'help'
guide and am still clueless...this problem only occurs on my laptop not on my desktop and i have checked every single font with my desktop, but its all the same
any suggestions? thnx in advanced

have you got a font program, something that handles your fonts on your laptop? Adobe type manager? suitcase?

err, im afraid i dun haf them, where to get them?

that is definitely strange, and i've never heard of such a thing.
Have you tried resinstalling the fonts?

Also, you are saying that you're making a new text box, and not
opening an older one, right?

Well you probably dont need a font manager, but you can check it out at adobe site Adobe Type Manager (http://www.adobe.com/products/main.html) it basically a app that holds all your fonts and you can manage them in particular folders.

Im guessing you using photoshop 5.5 or lower where you need to go to a text box area to type.(am i right?). seems like something has stuffed up your fonts. Like Unflux suggested reinstall your fonts, might be a quick fix situation, if pain persist get a hammer.... lol....jk.....

Put down the hammer...! :run:
