I tried cleaning out my fonts folder (with FontExplorer X) and that didn’t help at all. Why aren’t the fonts showing up in the Adobe apps?!? I checked Illustrator CS and the fonts do show up and I can use them just fine. So what changed in CS2? Argh. I have no idea how to fix this…
Ever since I upgraded to Adobe CS2, I haven’t been able to access my Thai fonts from within Adobe apps. I can still see them in TextEdit and Font Book and even Word, but Illustrator and InDesign (and probably Photoshop too) don’t even show them in the font list. It’s bizarre, because two of the fonts do show up. I don’t know what the difference is between CS and CS2 and what changed, but it’s frustrating and I’ve got to figure out why the fonts don’t show up.
Speaking of Thai fonts, most have problems with floating tone marks on the Mac (but not on Windows), which I suspect has something to do with the way the font is created. I think I’ll take an in-depth look at the fonts in FontForge and see what I can find. (I also seem to remember finding a PDF last year about creating Thai fonts, written in Thai, and hopefully that’ll have some insight — if I can find it again.)
