Fontbook doesnt show any fonts

Type designers have to do things 'under the hood' to fool the OS into working with the fonts properly. When type families greater varieties of weights (from hairline to ultra black) the OS sometimes makes a mess of the situation. Apparently the OS thinks there are only four weights of any given typeface (regular, italic, bold and bold-italic). They do show up properly in previous versions of CorelDRAW.Īnyway, in the case of Windows, one of the culprits may be the Windows OS itself.

None of the 5 bold upright fonts show up in CorelDRAW 2020 they only appear italic. The fonts come in 5 widths, 6 weights per width and with matching italics. For example, I have a 60 font super family called Vito (originally sold by Typejockeys, but now by Dots & Stripes type) that works fine in Illustrator. Likewise, I've seen similar font disappearance glitches, but with different fonts, in other applications such as CorelDRAW. I haven't noticed an issue with the current version of Illustrator. One type family called Sica (by dooType) had some weights not showing up. On the Windows platform I have seen some glitches with some fonts not showing up in one of the past version builds of Illustrator.
