    Corrupt font menu

    Michael_H._Phillips-25llKp Community Member
      The following have suddenly appeared in the Font Menus of Illustrator CS3,
      InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS3:

      GIMBQP+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Demi (= Helvetica Bold Condensed Oblique)
      HWPXJN+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book (= Helvetica Bold Condensed Oblique)
      ZWOQBD+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book (= a spindly pixellated thing).

      The Franklin Gothic Standard OpenType family is installed and displaying
      correctly in the Font Menu. Fonts are managed by Linotype FontExplorer.

      Illustrator CS4 is not affected, nor is any other application.

      I have deleted all the AdobeFnt.lst files. No joy.

      As only the CS3 applications are affected, there must be a Preference or
      Cache or Database file somewhere that is specific to them. I've searched and
      experimented but can't find the culprit.

      Has anyone encountered this and found a solution?
