PK Color Contact Sheet

[mfarbman]

Where can I find the fonts that are used in the Contact Sheet Action? I am prompted to subsitute for each different color and its a bit of a pain

By default, the contact sheet actions use the Myriad font which should be installed with an English version Photoshop installation of either Mac or windows. It's an Adobe intalled font and used by Photoshop itself.

Hm, I have the same problem, Myriad Roman font is missing...

I have an Asia/Pacific version of Photoshop, maybe it's a bit different?
Is there a way to change the actions to use a different font?

Thanks, Ben

Jeff,

I do have the Myriad font in my system. When I run the action and it gets to the point where it labels the sample it asks to subsitute for the missing Myriad Roman font. Thanks for your help.

Yep, it seems to be a regionalization issue with non-English versions of Photoshop. Not much we can do with that. We choose that font as being cross platform on the versions we could test on. There are at least 17 different regionalized language versions of Photoshop so there was no way we could test it on all languages. That's why we offer the actions as an unsupported free option.

You are certainly welcome to edit the actions. . .but if you look, it isn't for the faint at heart. Our suggestion, if you don't have the Myriad Roman font and can't easily get it is to simply end the action after the different variations are run and not do the contact sheet portion of the action. It will still give you a view of the various results but won't choke of the font not available problem of the contact sheet naming.

Thanks Jeff,
I see the font costs around 30US$, I think I'll stick with hitting 'Enter' a few times or don't run the contact sheet portion of the action, as you suggest.

Jeff,
Interesting that I purchased PS direct from Adobe and evidently did not get a English version. I called Adobe support and was told that the Myriad Roman font is not included in PS. Oh well, I guess I'll keep hittin the enter key as well. Thanks for your response. I understand that the contact sheet option is not supported and appreciate your making it available.
