All font related documentation is online. Visithttp://www.adobe.com/type/browser/landing/creativesuite/creativesuite5.htmlto find our OpenType User Guide, OpenType ReadMe, links to font specific readmes, listings of fonts installed by the different CS5.5 products, and listings of fonts included on DVD for each of the CS5.5 products.
The Creative Suite 5.5 installer installs fonts into a default system font directory. If the installer finds older versions of these fonts in the default system font directory, it will uninstall the older versions, and save them to a new directory. The default system font directory is:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Fonts
Windows: <System Disk>:WindowsFonts
The older fonts will be saved in the new directory:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SavedFonts/current
Windows: <System Disk>:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeSavedFontscurrent
This new directory will also contain a file named 'Read Me.html' which lists the saved fonts, and the version numbers of the new and old font files.
You can re-install the older fonts by deleting the new font files from the default system font directory, and moving the old files back into that directory.
Please refer toAdobe Supportfor late-breaking information and known issues for all Creative Suite 5.5 applications.

- Custom Settings which have not been saved as a Keyboard Layout Preset in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog revert to factory defaults when settings are changed within a different Preset. (#2798598)
- When exporting a Premiere Pro project to a Final Cut Pro XML, Color Correction effects used in sequence clips are not accurately reproduced in Final Cut Pro. (#2794475)
- Video preview is not present when capturing video via HDV. (#2801005)
- Media in sequences exported via XML from Final Cut Pro cannot be relinked if the sequence was not exported as part of a project. (#2810524)
- Premiere Pro Stereo clip in a stereo sequence is attenuated 3.0dB in Audition when opened via Edit in Adobe Audition. (#2736902)
- Playback of AVCHD at 1/2 and 1/4 resolution has been optimized for greater image quality. This quality improvement requires more processor power to play back unrendered effects in real time compared to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
- Importing or opening of projects and sequences from Adobe Premiere Elements is not supported.

CUDA information
- Adobe Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration requires a certified CUDA support driver from NVIDIA. GPU acceleration is only supported on a limited set of NVIDIA graphic cards.
- The acceleration icon that is displayed in the effects panel depict which effects are accelerated with GPU playback.
- CUDA is always rendered at maximum quality, to obtain similar results in software mode the maximum render quality flags must be toggled in export or sequence settings.
- CUDA accelerates the effects rendering on a clip but does not accelerate the file I/O from the drive into Premiere Pro. Slower system performance (CPU, drive I/O) may result in limited performance gains from the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
- The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration takes advantage of the graphic card and its memory. However, working with numerous layers of large stills and/or video frame sizes may overwhelm the memory of the graphics card that could lead to failures.
- Opacity changes and compositing with opacity on large frame sizes can cause poor playback.
