I'm not sure whether I should post this here, or on the InDesign forum. 
Yesterday (after running onyx) Arno Pro 12pt disappeared from my font 
list in InDesign. When I enable the whole family, all the optical sizes 
show up except for 12pt Regular. Both 12pt Regular and Arno Pro Regular 
show up in my font list as Arno Pro Regular. (It only shows up once when 
they are both enabled.)

I have cleaned font caches, both for InDesign, and for the System, 
restarted, trashed prefs. Nothing helped.

The font shows up correctly in other applications.

MacBook OS 10.4.11
Any suggestions?

The "12 pt" font was a pre-release version of what later became "Regular" so you really don't want to have both on your system, anyway, and they may in fact be conflicting. Get rid of it and any others that have an actual point size in the name and stay with "Regular" and its friends.

T

Harbs,

In addition to Thomas's comment, there may be some confusion here. If this doesn't pertain to your question, please feel free to ignore my post. <g>

The specific font size you want is simply typed into the size field within the application. Of course, there are presets for commonly used sizes in the application to make life a little easier. But there is no specific font sizing inherent to the font -- only what YOU decide and assign. Otherwise, what happens if you want or need you font set 12.375 pt.? Or 6.72 pt? Or 26 pt? Etc. See: <http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage&code=1740> And you don't need Pro installed if you have Opticals installed.

If if bothers you that the 12 pt preset is missing from your application, maybe you have to reset the application's preferences. But for details on fixing that, I suggest you post in the InDesign forum.

Thanks!

Neil

Thanks Thomas.

Does that mean to get rid of the 8 pt 10pt 18pt, etc. at all weights 
(bold, semibold, etc.) too?

I wonder where they came from... The public beta of PhotoShop maybe?

Thanks for you comments, Neil.

I think Thomas described the issue exactly. I'm quite aware how to set 
type sizes ;) I was referring to the optical sizes of the font.

I did have a feeling it was a font issue and not an InDesign issue. 
(Which is why I decided to post my question here.) I'm just not sure why 
it shows up in other apps, but I won't lose any sleep over that.

I do have the full set of opticals installed. Now I know, twice! (64 
fonts total...)

Thanks,
Harbs

Harbs,

I'm glad that Thomas nailed it. I posted on the off-chance there was another issue.

Yep, get rid of those "sized" versions of the fonts. And be sure that you are not activating duplicate installations of the fonts to avoid conflicts. But then, you probably know that! <g>

Yes, these were part of the Photoshop public beta.

Cheers,
