Dear Mr Phinney. You are a saint of the first order. Trust me, the air has been somewhat blue here due to this ludicrous fonts issue. I am seriously indebted to you.
Cheers, Andy

Thanks so much for posting this hugely helpful info.

I’ve just wasted half of a pretty crappy and unproductive day tring to install some fonts before finding this! I have an Nvidia card, but changing the reg entry to 20 didn’t seem to crack it. It was the /3GB switch that was the answer for my problem.

But does this really mean I can’t use all my RAM and HelveticaNeue ?

Thanks again and best wishes from London.

We are running Win7 / CS3 in XP mode / having trouble with PS font (Management tool Universal Type) – anybode tried this and have a solution

[There are some known issues with PostScript Type 1 fonts, 64-bit Windows, and Creative Suite. One workaround is to manually copy the fonts to an Adobe fonts folder such as C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. - T]

Thanks a lot. Great post. I thought that all of my fonts had somehow “spoiled”)) The 4 point fixed the problem:) Thanks!

I have WinXP and cant access an Open Type font….
I have been advised to fix I need to change an entry in the registry.
I can get to Memory Management in the Registry editor, and then if I right click on I see an option for a Key (which seems to make a new file below Memory Management), or below that there is a an option for DWord value, but if I click on that nothing happens.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue as some of the people above. I'm running XP on bootcamp, so newer NVIDIA. And I can't create a new value called "SessionImageSize" because there already is one. Does anyone know what to do here? [I'd think you could try adjusting the value of "SessionImageSize" to 20, if it's something else. - T]

Thank you SO MUCH! Worked like a charm.

I have one of those “unspecified ATI cards”. The card I have is:
The ATI Mobility FireGL v5250

I wanted to post that so that, hopefully, this page will show up if someone searches for it.

The regedit-fix did the job! Even if there is no sign of Nvidia drivers on my system (only Intel and ATI, Win XP with SP3)

Thank you so much!
