So today on my work computer I was working in Photoshop & I noticed at least a dozen new fonts that I did NOT download. I don't always lock my computer down when I leave work, so I'm wondering if this is some mischief in the office?? Or is my computer automatically updating new fonts on to itself??? I've worked on this computer for over a year now and this has never happened.

I work in Photoshop CS2, 9.0.2 on a Mac OS X, Version 10.4.11, PowerPC G5 (3.0), I often work in photoshop, fcp, & motion.

TIA

Umm no even if it could it wouldn't install them automatically either. Someone probably activated fonts while you were away.

What font management software do you use? Linotype Font Explorer?
