I'm having a problem getting an installed font to show up in illustrator.
The font is True Type format, it validates fine in fontbook but won't show up in illustrator. tried restarting, etc...
i'm on cs3 - anyone else run into this problem?

Sometimes Illustrator places it out of order alphabetically? Try running through all the fonts and see if it's there.

what ukit said, also delete all AdobeFnt*.lst files and restart. restart in safe mode to clear font caches.

where would those AdobeFnt.lst files appear? in my font folder?
- acescence0
they are located in various places, just search for AdobeFnt on your drive

found one in my InDesign application folder - deleted it, restarted but still no dice.

likely a damaged font file. fontbook isn't so good at detecting these. try a font library manager like linotype explorer or suitcase fusion (recommended!).
