Mar 4, 2016 3:01 AM in response to BinsuJiroby djtnyc,You are not the only designer whose fonts do not show up in QuarkXpress anymore. I use Extensis Suitcase Fusion 6 and Quark 2015 and have been wrestling with this since last Sept 2015 when I stupidly updated to El Capitan. Each update that they finally released is supposed to fix it – but doesn't.
Before El Capitan everything worked fine. It has been a nightmare that has gone on for almost 6 months with endless hours conversing with Quark and Extensis forums and emails – waiting for updates. It is definitely related to El Capitan and those third party apps. I finally walked a way from Quark for a couple of months and just worked with Photoshop where the fonts appear okay.
But after I briefly had a work-around by dragging some fonts into the OS Fonts folder – which sometimes worked. But the latest update to El Capitan has permanently broken it and now just about all Post script fonts no longer appear in Quark legacy or new layouts. They show fine in Apple's TextEdit and Adobe Photoshop, just not Quark. Now even Helvetica Postscript doesn't work anymore. I switched to TrueTYpe for all my Helvetica now.
I've boiled it down to mostly Postscript 1 fonts incompatibility with Quark under El Capitan. Quark is clueless and offers no help. OpenType and Truetype are the only fonts formats with no issues. But with my 5000 legacy font collection and over 25 years of legacy Quark documents – as a professional art director this is a bona fide disaster.
I really wish Apple or SOMEONE would address this. Even a work-around! Please!

I noted this earlier in this topic. This is a known issue with El Capitan.
1) If you put legacy Mac TrueType or Type 1 PostScript fonts in the root Library's Fonts folder, they may or may not show up in any, or all apps. You also may only see part of set.
2) If you open legacy Mac TrueType or Type 1 PostScript fonts in any font manager "in place", the same thing will happen.
3) If you put legacy Mac TrueType or Type 1 PostScript fonts into the Fonts folder of your user account, they will work as expected in all apps.
This bug does not affect OpenType fonts. I haven't yet tested to see if this has been fixed in 10.11.3.

Jul 28, 2016 3:17 PM in response to BinsuJiroby Miklos,I have had to grapple with the same issue for a while, but only because I started removing fonts from the System > Library > Fonts and the Library > Fonts folders. I even had Axure Pro crash on opening files because of missing fonts. I decided to spend some time testing which fonts are causing the issues if missing (removed). I did a "restore" of OSX by restarting a test drive and using "Command+R" to go into restore/ utilities, terminal mode at startup. 30 min of restoring later all the fonts came back. OSX El Capitan installs over 1 GB of fonts between the System > Library > Fonts and the Library > Fonts folders .
I started removing some fonts from both folders just for the sake of it and test the system. I could usually test quickly between iMessage and emojis in messages if a required font was missing. I also looked at other apps and font displays. I managed to cut fonts down in these two folders to about half of what OSX installs by default.
Hopefully this will help. Here's a list of fonts I have between the System > Library > Fonts and the Library > Fonts folders and everything on my Mac is hunky dory (I'm not saying these are all required, I'm sure I could cut the list down more but I haven't had time to play with it more):
