Why? Ombra vs Thin...

diorg_font

Hi,
I have a problem.
I created a font with Fontlab Studio 5.

I have this cases:

Thin
Light
Regular
Bold
Black

Ombra

On Mac all cases work fine.
On Pc, I open Thin, system open Ombra...
In Illustrator Thin doesn’t appear...
Why???

The fonts are .ttf.

Thank you!

This might be because you have conflicting postscript names. (See just below where you name your font, under “font info”!)

Thanks frode frank!

I checked under “font info”:

Thin: I have PS font name like font_name-Thin.
Ombra: I have PS font name like font_name-Ombra.

Is it possible that the problem dipends by the fact that I create Ombra case by Thin case???

Thank you!

I’m not sure. Good luck!

Clear your Adobe font cache then check the ’Preferred’ font names you have given the fonts. Adobe apps will use ’Preferred’ names if they are in the font.
