Sometimes the naming structure is different - sometimes PS lists oddly named fonts at the bottom of the font list, not in alphabetical order like you would expect. This is particularly an issue if you have a large number of fonts. Sometimes they get listed by other characters in the file name too.

thank you for your response… it’s not about finding the new font on the list… as I mentioned in my OP, when I open a PSD file that contains text with that font it says that font is missing… and it shows exclamation points in the text layer icons… this means PS is not finding the font…
sometimes that is simply because software can interface with the font software differently. It may not be the same for Fontbook but I’ve struck this problem with Adobe products not naming fonts the same as MS products. You might find for example that the bold of the font is listed separately in PS or it does/doesn’t contain a space in the name where as another program will read the space in the name. Because that space is or isn’t read means something like PS ‘sees’ it as a different font even though it is exactly the same. In this case it is just a matter of opening PS and directing it to the correct version of the font. Am guessing this isn’t ur problem though
Show us a screenshot of the error box about the font name!
Actually the name of the font as it appears in that box should be exactly the same as its name in the font list of PS (what Slackr said).
now the fonts are called “Gotham”… font file structure: http://mayacove.com/dev/gotham.gif
(what are fonts inside “GothamHTF” folder? they have no extension…)
The square brackets around the font name in the screenshot mean that the font wasn’t found by PS!
Try to convert those GothamHTF fonts to be .otf!
You can use this converter: http://onlinefontconverter.com/
Then reinstall them on your system.
I copied it and pasted in HD/Library/Fonts/
That really isn’t the best way to install fonts in OSX, remember that UNIX involves permissions and bindings and not just file locations.
