I need your help regarding my font installations... i just installed my photoshop software and my other 2000 fonts but, when I load my photoshop application my font list on the photoshop reads only from A to C. I want all my fonts to be loaded on my photoshop for my designs work.
Please help me with this. Your assistance is greatly appreciated

Are you using font management software or did you just put all of your fonts in to library/fonts folder or user/library/fonts folder?
In any case it may be that your font cache file (either system or application specific) has become corrupt.
I suggest downloading Linotype's free FontExplorer . Which does an excellent job of handling fonts and includes utilities for clearing application and system font cache files.
And it's free!
A review for FontExplorer.

As already stated, you need to use a real Font Manager, not Apple's pre-installed Font Book. Font Explorer is pretty darn good, as is Suitcase Fusion.

Actually - Rule #1: Don't EVER add 2000 fonts to your System. As a matter of fact, don't even add 200. Only add the fonts you use per project - then enable/disable per needed. Honestly, if you use over 20 fonts in 1 layout - you're on your own /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Your computer will go BizZZzzonkers if you use that many fonts at once. Here's a pretty good Macworld article:
