several font, which i am able to use in other programs, do not appear in photoshop. the font i'm trying to use is frankfurt (framd.ttf). some other fonts appear, but don't allow all of the styling options. how can i make photoshop support all of my fonts?

What OS (PC or Mac)? What vs of Photoshop? Were the fonts installed properly (not copied to the folder, but installed using a font manager or using Fonts in Control Panel)?

Also, the followingis from Adobe website:
Many TTFonts are unfortunately country-coded incorrectly due to a bug in a font creation application that quite a few foundries were using.

The fonts are listed alphabetically by country code, starting with Western European.

If you open your adobefnt.lst file in a text editor, you will probably find those fonts that are giving you problems have one of the following entries:

WritingScript:Greek
WritingScript:Cyrillic
WritingScript:EastEuropeanRoman

when they should have

WritingScript:Roman

Changing the entry to WritingScript:Roman *may* help - but I would make a copy of the file first....

If you do change the entries in the Adobefnt.lst, you will need to set it to read only to keep those settings. It will then not reflect any changes you make to your installed fonts.

Also, make sure they aren't displaying at the bottom of the font list, PS sometimes does that, having fonts listed A-Z then starting again at A for some fonts.. so the font 'may' be there, just not in order.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
 
wow. what a full answer, and helpful. i removed them the installed them properly - ahem. you deserve a little treat mr ion.

I can't take full credit for that, I learned all that from the Adobe PS forum.. it is just a matter of knowing where to find the info when one needs it!
