So I've downloaded a google font known as 'Didact Gothic' from Google Fonts. It works perfectly when embedded in a website. However, Photoshop CS6 does something really odd to the 'w' glyph:
The .ttf file completely fine:
And it even works in Pages:
So what on Earth is going on? The rogue 'w' in photoshop appears to be from a different font called Mistral, I think. Bizarre. Any and all help appreciated.
Download a different version of the font.
Didact Gothic for example is found here:
http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/didact-gothic
As are a lot of google fonts.
(This version worked perfectly for me, despite Font Book throwing a 'serious' error warning)
Un-install, re download a new copy and then install again, make sure Photoshop and any other Adobe application is closed to be on the safe side.
I've seen similar issues before and this has worked for me. If it doesn't you may need to try re-installing Photoshop.
Finally I have found the version that worked in my case: Didact Gothic
In my case it had to be the OpenType version that worked like a charm. True Type variant mixed up "w".
