I am having this font issue that thus far, no one has been able to solve... The problem is like this:

The font is:

http://www.houseoflime.com/dings/orn...ecorations.htm

steps i take:
I restart my computer.
I install the font on my computer by dragging it into the fonts folder in the windows folder.
I open up Photoshop CS2.
I create a new document:
width: 500
height: 500
resolution 72 px/inch
color mode: RGB 8 bit
background contents: background color

I select the text tool and click on the canvas.
(caps lock off - even with this on it doesnt work)
I select the ornamental font and click on the stage.
I press the letter 'a' on the keyboard and nothing happens; as in the cursor does not respond.
I then click on the background layer to deselect the text layer and the text layers name turns to an 'a' but i still cannot see anything on the canvas.

(the canvas is white and my text is black.)

if i use a different font such as times new roman or something it works but why not this one?

the designer corners font works just fine but not this ornament one and quite a few others.

The ornamentaldecorations font works in fireworks8 and word as well...

please help this is maddening!
