JHutchinson Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Hi, I have Adobe Photoshop as a single app, so I get adobe fonts. What I'm finding in publisher is that any adobe fonts won't load until I intentionally boot up Adobe Creative Cloud. Is this a known problem? I can try and show an example to duplicate if needed. Thanks, From a recent Publisher buyer (buying one last month of indesign just to transfer work, then I'm done with it.)
Staff Gabe Posted January 14, 2021 Staff Posted January 14, 2021 Hi @JHutchinson, Welcome to the forums and sorry for the delayed reply. Adobe fonts are managed through Adobe Creative Cloud. I'm not surprised you don't have your Adobe fonts active with the program that activates them not running. Regardless, it would be a question for Adobe. We use whatever it's available on your PC. Photoshop must be using come clever stuff to grab the fonts, as it's from the same family.
JHutchinson Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks for the welcome Gabe. Correct, they're managed through CC. Hmm. What I'm saying is because I don't have Adobe CC loaded on startup (no thanks to any such bloatware) Serif doesn't pick up that I 'have' these fonts until it's run. It's a weird one as I don't really know how Adobe Fonts / Typekit whatever you want to call it works in terms of 'ownership'. I'm surprised Publisher was allowed to access them at all in the first place to be fair. Does that make more sense? I don't think it's a question for Adobe. Because like I say, Publisher knows I 'own' / 'posess' the fonts once Adobe CC is booted up.
Staff Gabe Posted January 14, 2021 Staff Posted January 14, 2021 They might have a way of caching the fonts, thus making them available with CC closed. That's why I said it's a question for Adobe. Can you see the same "missing" fonts in other system apps with CC closed? Say Notepad.
JHutchinson Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 This is what I get currently. Yeah that's not showing in notepad for sure, although MS Word is able to incorporate the Adobe Fonts which is nice to know.. Anyway, at least it's only by opening Adobe CC that I avoid it. The initial help topics are for deleting font caches. I can't see anything which kind of 'localises' them for offline use per se. Anyhow, it's nice they can be picked up at all. FWIW I'm really enjoying Publisher and so glad to have made the move away from Indesign, as an occasional user.
