Today my computer was upgraded to Windows 7, and well, now my Type 1 (postscript) fonts don't want to work inside of Photoshop CS3. I know the format is ancient and is slowly going the way of the dodo, and even though I have OpenType and TrueType versions of Helvetica, none organize as nicely as my Type 1 fonts do. In Photoshop, all versions of my Type 1 Helvetica show up in the secondary dropdown, not as separate entries in the full font list, as happens with OpenType and TrueType (for me at least). Plus, some of us have had these fonts for years and don't feel like buying another set.
After much Googling, I discovered that Adobe products will recognize them if you place them in this directory:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
If this directory doesn't exist, try creating it. The workaround kinda sucks, but for me it's worth it.
