Can Typekit web fonts be used to produce digital publishing documents or can only desktop fonts be used?

I'm trying to match a DPS publication to a website that uses a web only Typekit font. Is there a way to make it work for a DPS publication or can only desktop fonts be used? Thank you for any insight.

Hello JMZambelli,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit!  Only the fonts licensed for sync use may be used to create digital documents.  We are continuing to license fonts from our foundry partners for desktop sync as we move forward, but in the meantime you can likely purchase a desktop license directly from the foundry for any weight or style which is not available for sync. The foundry name & website are linked from the top of each Typekit font detail page. 
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions here or at [email protected]  Best,

  • HOW do I find out how much using additional Typekit web fonts COSTS?

    It seems very strange to me, but there are NO PRICES listed at typekit.com.
    You can see lots of faces, but there seems to be no way to USE those faces on the web! I excpected there to be SOME information on pricing, but there is NONE.
    One might conclude that they don't want any business ...

    Hi Michael,
    I have just replied to your support email, but will post the same information here for the forum archive:
    I'm sorry for any confusion here.  Your Typekit Portfolio plan is included in your Creative Cloud subscription at no additional cost. 
    This is why you don't see information about pricing when you are signed in to your account: it's part of the Creative Cloud subscription that you already have.  I will let the team know that this was confusing, though, so we can make it more clear in the future.
    # About your Portfolio plan:
    A Portfolio plan gives you access to the full library of Typekit web fonts, as well as the new desktop sync feature. 
    You can read more about the Portfolio plan details–and the pricing on the other Typekit subscription options–on the plan pages:
    https://typekit.com/plans
    Font sync is still being rolled out to users, so will need to request access in order to try it out. Read more about that on our blog: http://blog.typekit.com/2013/08/08/sign-up-for-early-access-to-desktop-font-sync
    or just head over to sign up:
    https://creative.adobe.com/earlyaccess.
    Again, all of this is included as part of your Creative Cloud subscription.  You will not be billed anything additional by Typekit (unless you choose to upgrade your subscription to support more pageviews.)
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions.  best,

  • Using Typekit web fonts in Adobe Muse | Adobe Muse Feature Tour | Adobe TV

    Adobe Muse recently introduced a feature that allows you to incorporate TypeKit web fonts into your website designs. In this video, Product Manager Dani Beaumont shows you how to access over hundreds of font types that look beautiful and can be understood by search engines and screen readers.
    http://adobe.ly/NlQYof

    This video sends Flash Player into a wheel-spinning loop that freezes Firefox, won't play beyond the first few seconds (and very choppily at that) in Chrome, and reduces IE9 to a crawl. It isn't possible to view the video as of 10/23/2012.

  • Typekit web fonts only partially load in IE

    I'm having some troubles getting Typekit web fonts to work well with Internet Explorer. Occasionally the fonts will load just fine, sometimes the fonts won't load at all, and sometimes the fonts will only partially load where parts of the site will have the correct fonts and other sections will not. Again this is only with IE 9-11. Every other browser works fine. I'm hoping someone on the forums may be able to lead me in the right direction. I've emailed the support email on the typekit website twice and after waiting several days I fear they won't be getting back to me. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
    This is an image of it working in Chrome.

    Now fonts working after refreshing the page twice

    Hi linseyfree,
    I am sorry that you've been having trouble with your font loading! We didn't receive an email from you in Typekit Support; I will look into what happened there. 
    I have been emailing with one of your colleagues (Tom S), however, and I believe this problem has been sorted out.  If you still see trouble with the font loading, however, please run the tests at the end of this post in IE 9 or 10 and we can look into it further for you.

    Use the web developer tools in the browser to look at your site's assets, and take a screenshot of the timeline for Typekit.
    1. Clear your site cache so that the Typekit files are requested from the network again.
    2. Select the network tab in the developer tools and keep it open.
    3. Go to the page that's giving you trouble. Verify that it loads and that the fonts still aren't loading properly.
    4. In the network tab, scroll down until you find the requests from Typekit; there should be a JavaScript file and a CSS file.
    > take a screenshot
    5. Select the JS filename, then select the Headers tab that appears.
    6. Resize the window so that all header info rows are visible.
    > take a screenshot
    7. Select the HTML tab.  Is the font marked as "wf-active" in the font events on the HTML tag?

  • Muse/Typekit web font list/preview?

    Is there a specific foundry within Typekit that Muse uses to populate its list of available web fonts in the "Add Web Fonts..." menu? When I browse Typekit's site to find fonts for use in Muse the majority aren't available from within Muse. Likewise, some of the fonts available in the Muse menu are no where to be found on the Typekit site, Aguafina Script for example.
    There's actually an Adobe foundry within Typekit, which contains LOTS of fonts unavailable in Muse. What kind of sense does that make?
    It's difficult to use them in conjunction to facilitate type design. If I browse Typekit chances are the font isn't available in Muse anyways. If I browse Muse I frequently can't find the font on the Typekit site so I can preview at different sizes/weights to make a good decision regarding appearance and legibility for my viewers.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    ~Bob
    BTW, why the heck don't all the browsers use Muse's Design Mode type rendering engine? Typekit fonts are stunning when viewed in Muse's Design Mode but look like terrible every where else... even in Muse's own Preview Mode. The only exception I can find is on an iPhone which alse renders type beautifully.
    ~B

    actually was trying to make typekit fonts to work with muse, but the edgwebfont-tutorial... don't work for me...
    now i found a way. using the same tutorial and screenshots from above How to add Typekit fonts to your Muse site
    STEP 1:
    you need to have an active domain, so you can upload yr files on the web via FTP. you are going to see yr fonts online only.
    first you need to setup yr typekit-kit with yr domain.
    now select your fonts and weights you want on yr webpage
    STEP 2: Give the Typekit fonts selector names
    you need to put the selectors on the top left corner of the screen, BUT
    INSTEAD of the ".header" or ".body" selectors, you can use the normal HTML selectors, like h1, h2, p and so on. if you want, you can set more than one selector to yr font, so if for example you want to use the same font for h1 and p, you can put both selectors there. if you have italics and bold selected it going to work automatically on muse when you use the bold and italic buttons. preety cool!
    publish
    Step 3: Give your Muse text frames paragraph styles with the same names
    AT FIRST: you might do this setup on yr masterpage, so yr fonts are automatically loaded on yr sites.
    make paragraph-styles with your HTML selectors (h1, h2, p and so on), then format yr text with them on the pages.
    Step 4: Add the Typekit Javascript
    DO NOT paste the java script on yr site! this code must be in "HEAD" of the website. so you need to go to menu:
    > page > page properties
    then, paste the typekit javascript in yr "metadata".
    that's it.
    hope it helps, and sorry my english

  • Typekit Web font problem - only in PC browers

    Hi. We have developed a site in Muse using a particular font from Typekit. The font in question is 'Quicksand'.
    When we publish the site onto BC for viewing, on a Mac (Safari & Chrome browsers) the font shows fine, and on iPhone/iPad too. When we view it on a PC (IE8, Chrome, Firefox) it is either very feint (Chrome) or almost totally illegible and distorted (IE8 & Firefox).
    We changed the font to another from Typekit on one particular page and the problem was solved.
    Not fancying changing all the text, menus etc etc on the whole site, any ideas what could cause one particular font to not work like this?
    Many thanks
    Nathan

    I'm having the same Muse Web Font problem. Web Fonts are beautiful in Design Mode but when in Preview Mode they're a mess. When I publish they render like in Preview Mode, a mess. They display incorrectly when viewing on a PC from any browser I've tried: IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera. They look great on my iPhone but I don't have another Mac OS device from which to view. This happens with ALL Web Fonts.
    Please see samples: 1) Muse Design Mode. 2) Muse Preview Mode. 3) Firefox PC. 4) iPhone.
    The text displayed in images 1 and 4 is crisp but in images 2 and 3 is pixelated and misshapen. Can someone explain what's causing this and offer a solution?
    Thanks,
    ~Bob

  • Work with TypeKit web fonts in Edge?

    I am working on a composition that, when on the actual web site, will use TypeKit fonts like the rest of the site.
    For example, sample css used is
    "din-condensed-web",Arial, sans-serif;
    How can I specify that in my composition (even if I can't see it in Edge, which is fine)?

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your earlier posts.
    I have had some difficulty too. I followed in detail and double checked the instructions in the online tutorial
    Using TypeKit | Learn Edge Animate | Adobe TV
    however, even after waiting a while, I'm not getting to view the fonts in animate. I added ["felt tip woman", cursive]    with the code, and although it shows in my fonts list, I'm not able to preview it in the app, or in my browser. the text is there obviously, but the corrsponding style for the selected font does not show
    please help and thanks in advance for your attention.
    Cheers

  • How do you add/use typekit fonts that are not edge web fonts?

    I am just trying out the new Muse CC 2014.1 (August) release and was keen to try the new font facilities.  As far as I can see that while I can now add other fonts for which I have downloaded web font files via the Self Hosted Web Fonts function, Typekit fonts that are not "Adobe Edge Web Fonts" are effectively unavailable?  Have I missed something.
    As an example I want to use the Proxima Nova web font family.  I have selected it on the type kit site, set them up to Sync via my Creative Cloud account.  So for example if I select a font in Photoshop CC or Illustrator, the Proxima Nova fonts appear. Even ok in Word for Mac.  They do not appear in Muse.
    To add them as self hosted web fonts, I would need to physically download the relevant fonts files and install them on my desktop using the OS-X font tool.  However as they are being sync'd via Creative Cloud this shouldn't be necessary should it?  Also I don't see an option for doing so on the typekit site.
    Any help or guidance would be very welcome.
    PS:  I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab.  But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.

    Hi David,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. To add fonts from Typekit to your Muse website, you will want to use the web fonts path instead of desktop fonts.  (You can use a desktop font synced from Typekit in your Muse design, but it will exported as an image the same as any other system font.)
    There are a couple options for using Typekit web fonts in Muse:
    o) The Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
    http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
    o) Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website. The steps are the same as this tutorial, but you will add the Typekit embed code to Muse instead of into your page directly:
    TYPEKIT | Adding fonts to your site
    Note that in either case the Typekit fonts will not be displayed in the Muse preview window. You'll need to publish your site to a server in order for the Typekit fonts to be loaded into the page.
    If those look like more coding that you are comfortable with, you might try one of the fonts which you can select from the font menu instead. Here are some that are similar to :
    https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts#/?xHeight=high&contrast=low&class=sans-serif&width=re gular
    We are also working on a more complete integration of Typekit with Muse in the future, but I can't say yet when that will be available.
    >> PS:  I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab.  But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.
    Do you see a "loading" icon in the tab (e.g. a blue spinner wheel)?  It sounds similar to this thread; you might try these suggestions:

  • Can't use Web Fonts in Photoshop, but can in Muse

    Hi, I'm trying to use the same font I use in Adobe Muse on an image I'm creating in Photoshop CS6. In Adobe Muse, it was easy to add fonts by simply clicking "Add Web Font" and it opened a browser for me to select from many web safe fonts. Love this feature, by the way. In Photoshop, however, I do not have the same fonts listed and can find no place to get the fonts. I've tried downloading the fonts and putting them in my font folders but they do not show up on my list and they are web safe fonts.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    The font is question is Delius.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, billlywjr73,
    Right now you can't use Typekit web fonts in Photoshop. 
    From the Typekit help, "Typekit only permits web-use for the fonts in our library, so we can’t provide you with a version of the fonts you use via Typekit to download and install. However, each font detail page includes a link to where you can buy an installable version of the font from the font’s designer/owner."
    On the Photoshop community forum, Jeff Tranberry says it's something on their radar but no ETA yet.

  • If I use a web font in my website can I use the same font for printed materials such as business car

    I am a graphic designer intending to design a portfolio website in Adobe Muse. I plan to use TypeKit web fonts to design my website. Upon completioin of the website I intend to design business cards and my resume to match the look of my website. I would like to use the same fonts as I used on the website. Is it possible to use web fonts for printing purposes? If not, what do people typically do in this situation. The last thing I want to do is use a font that "looks" like the ones used on my website.

    Hi redsoxfan15b,
    (I think I may have replied to your Typekit Support ticket earlier today, but I will post the same information here to be certain.)
    We have recently added a new feature to Typekit that allows you to sync fonts to your desktop and use them in print design. The announcement on our website has more information:
    http://blog.typekit.com/2014/01/16/the-fonts-you-love-from-typekit-now-on-your-desktop/
    Font sync is available on any Typekit Portfolio, Performance, or Business plan.  Here is a list of all the font available for desktop use:
    https://typekit.com/fonts?licenses=desktop
    We are continuing to license more of the library for desktop use, but for now you should confirm that the font you would like to use it available for both web and desktop.  And if there is a font you'd like to use that isn't available for desktop sync, you may also be able to purchase a license directly from the foundry.
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!  Best,

  • Web fonts from Edge Animate and DPS

    I've read all of the existing threads on this matter and I'm still a bit confused.
    I get that typekit web fonts won't render offline. But if that is the case, how can you ever use a custom web font from Edge Animate in a DPS publication? Considering you can only use web fonts in Animate...
    We have a desktop license for this font as well. So is there a way to get my animate project to call the desktop font rather than the web font?
    Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
    - Dylan

    I haven’t tried it so this may be a shot in the dark but you might be able to hack into the CSS and use @font-face to call a local font.
    Check the license of the font to be sure it allows this.

  • Using your own web fonts in Muse and NOT TypeKit's

    Hi All, I purchased a family of webfonts for the font I will be using in my website. There is no option to add my own web fonts in the fonts menu anywhere, just web safe, typekit and system. For now I'm designing my site with the desktop version of the webfont im using to see somewhat what the final outcome will loom like. Is there a way I can somehow assign my webfont to my site after my website is built and exported to my web server? I can't believe this isnt an option. I'd use Dreamweaver but it is needless difficult to build a website in it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    if you don't change the websafe font on the website to begin with, or later on come back to arial or something after you've designed with your own font, you can replace the entire font family in css in a matter of a few minutes. the sizes and other stuff will keep unless the font you're using doesn't have Bold or Italic for different hierarchies.
    from stack overflow:
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
        font-family: "My Custom Font";
        src: url(http://www.example.org/mycustomfont.ttf) format("truetype");
    p.customfont {
        font-family: "My Custom Font", Verdana, Tahoma;
    </style>

  • Can I use Web Fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop?

    I'd like to use a few of the web fonts for a clients project but I need to be able to have the fonts available for me in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Dreamweaver and Muse.
    I am a full Creative Cloud Subscriber and need to have complete integration across all or most products.
    Thank you for help in advance

    The short answer is this is not possible. 
    The long answer is Photoshop & Illustrator use print fonts installed on your system (True Type, Open Type, Post Script).
    Web fonts (ie: Google, TypeKit, Edge, etc...) need a web browser to display them because they use file types that are not recognized by other applications.

  • How can I use web fonts I purchased?

    I purchased Avalon from Font Spring (http://www.fontspring.com/fonts/fontsite/avalon) and it came with web fonts.
    How can I use the web fonts I bought with Adobe Muse?

    Hi,
    An update: Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 (released earlier today) includes support for self-hosted web fonts. To use a specific font in your Muse site (such as the Avalon that you purchased from FontSpring), you will need to install the system font (properly licensed for desktop use) and provide the corresponding web font files (properly licensed for use on a website).
    Give it a try and let us know if you need help or run into issues.
    Thanks,

  • Can Edge Web Fonts be used for Photoshop website mockups?

    I'm keen to know if Edge Web Fonts can be used within Photoshop as an extension (to make the website mockup process smoother). I know Edge Web Fonts plays well with Muse and other Edge Tools, but I don't want to use Muse to build my sites - I just want to do my mockups in Photoshop. Can Edge Web Fonts work from within Photoshop, or will I be forced to switch to something like Extensis Suitcase Fusion for font management within Photoshop? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Problem solved - I've found everything I was looking for (and more) in Edge Reflow.
