How can I find what fonts are used in an PSD file?

Yes, I have a lot of fonts loaded. Scrolling to the very bottom shows
two "lines". Under the first line it lists one font name. Then
another line, and under the 2nd line it shows 21 fonts. 7 have names
and the others are named similar to ft## (ft12 - ft53).

message
and look at that list. "

That's the thing. I can not open the PSD file that gives that error.
When I attempt to open it, it does not load and I get the error message
below. Then it only gives me the option to click OK, which closes it.
No partial loading or anything.

It's Photoshop CS if that matter.

"which tells you which typeface it's looking for, btw. "

The error message is: "Could not complete your request because the
layer is not a valid text layer."

Uh, am I missing something that tells me the "typeface"?


Thanks in advance!

Nothing, because that error message has nothing to do with missing
typefaces.

It says "the layer is not a valid text layer" - which most likely means
the file is corrupt.

You are not missing a font. If there is a font missing, you get a
different error message, which reads:

"Some text layers contain fonts that are missing. These layers will need
to have the missing fonts replaced before they can be used for vector
based output."

The error message you are seeing is telling you that the Photoshop file
is corrupt (specifically, one of the text layers is damaged); that file
can not be used. Replace the file from your backups.

I think if you double click on the boxed "T" in the layers palate it should
show what font's missing.

goodluck
