Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular image editors in the world. The software became a favorite of many due to the great set of tools and resources it offers.
Among the different resources that users have available, there are fonts of all kinds. As an example of this, Adobe Photoshop has been compatible with Type 1 fonts for years.
But, in the last few weeks, Adobe Photoshop users realized that, after a recent update (v23 update), the Type 1 fonts are missing.
Adobe Photoshop Type 1 fonts not working after v23 update
Having said the above, users of the software are realizing that some fonts that used to work correctly are no longer working after v23 update. Because of this, many thought it was a bug.
In Photoshop, however, I can not find it. It is not displayed. Documents that use the font show that this font is missing. I have tried all the tips from the Adobe help page. Unfortunately no improvement. Source
This is not an error, it was warned
Having said the above, it is important to note that the loss of Type 1 fonts in Adobe Photoshop is not a bug. For some time now, the company has already warned when they will stop supporting those particular fonts.
The failure was in Adobe’s communication strategy
But, it seems that Adobe’s communication strategy was not the best. Apparently, many users were not even aware that in Photoshop v23 update, Type 1 fonts would no longer be supported.
This poor communication with its clients is causing many problems. After all, many of them had standardized some Type 1 fonts among their business-related designs.
If you are a user of Adobe products, you will probably be interested in consulting this link. There, you can see other features that will lose support next year 2023.
So, to top it off, Adobe should improve its communication strategy with its customers. This way, they won’t run into these kinds of unpleasant surprises that interfere with their productivity.
