How can I add fonts for Photoshop CS6 on a Mac? Update Cancel. Many people just use them right away but that's wrong. 24.1k Views View 2 Upvoters. Helvetica Light Condensed is shown as an option in my MAC Library Font folder but does not show up in PS CS6 to be used. How can I access this in PS? The simplest way to install a font is to just copy the font files into the Fonts folder, which can be found in either the top-level Library (which will make the fonts accessible to all users of the machine) or the user Library (which will make the fonts accessible only to that user).
The arial font converts to bold italics when I click the bold font. I've cleared caches, repaired permissions, and have isolated the issue to Microsoft Office 2016 15.18. It seems that Microsoft Word and Excel (haven't tried PowerPoint) auto format the Arial font from Arial Bold to Arial Bold Italics. This isn't document specific as this happens with newly created documents as well. This may be an issue with the 15.18 update since I can't recall this being an issue before hand. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Operating System: OS X 10.11.3 Computer: Mac Pro I'm not running Windows 7, but I had to select something in the drop down menu since OS X wasn't listed.
If this was posted in error on the wrong site, I apologize. Here's a troubleshooting scenario you can try to help diagnose the problem: Restart your Mac in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key down when you hear the startup chime.

It will take a long time for your Mac to start up. Try while in Safe Mode.
Then restart again and let your Mac start up normally without holding the Shift key down. Then try again. Did the problem go away in Safe Mode?
After the second restart? I am an unpaid volunteer and do not work for Microsoft. 'Independent Advisors' work for contractors hired by Microsoft. 'Microsoft Agents' work for Microsoft Support. I checked my fonts and have 2 variations: 5.00.2x (Linotype) and 5.01 (Microsoft).
Like other people, I'm not seeing this issue elsewhere, and it doesn't affect any other font families in Excel. Something has happened to trigger it - Not sure whether it is an update etc. But it has happened in the last week or so. My MacBook Pro version of Office hasn't been updated recently (rarely use it) and on there everything is fine, so it might be fair to assume that an update might be the culprit? Before reinstalling Office I did delete all instances of the previous one, including the support files from both my user and OS Library folders. I also experimenting with FontBook's option to 'reset system fonts' which didn't help.
Since I, my fonts are weird again. Back when I, I noticed something odd, which is that light text on a dark background is rendered more bold than the other way around. Consequently, the theme used by my LJ and the DNA site look kind of assy.
Then a month or so later, the problem went away, and my fonts looked like they should. Maybe there was a Software Update, maybe it was some other app I installed, I don't know, but something seemed to have shaken the cobwebs out of the font renderer. Well, I need to do that again, and I have no idea how. Check out this weirdness, which I suspect is related in some way: my tcsh $prompt is '%U%B%u%b ', meaning the prompt is bold. This is what Terminal looks like. The Font Smoothing preference also seems to reset itself every once in awhile for no readily apparent reason. At least the need to reset it is fairly obvious.

I also prefer to run Terminal using Monaco 9.0 as my font (things like and @ are more readable for me in that font that the default font). There is a Terminal font spacing bug when you switch to Monaco 9, though, so you need to manually set the font spacing preference for Terminal via 'defaults write com.apple.Terminal FontWidthSpacing 1.003' (There is only a slider for setting horizontal spacing and it doesn't have the resolution to set this value via the UI.
If you don't like this value, the slider is the easiest way to set it back to 1.0).
