Installed typekit fonts have vanished.

The other day I took advantage of the new typekit fonts for the desktop. Was very pleasently surprised to see them magically appear in InDesign. Went ahead a used one in a project. After doing some housekeeping with Onyx, they are no longer there.
I am assuming emptying the font cache had something to do with it, but how do I get them back? CC desktop says they are synced, but this does not help.

Marcy,

Installed typekit fonts disappear in InDesign after restart.

Everytime I restart my mac, which is every day, the installed typekit fonts disappear from the font list. They are still showing up in CC desktop (which was just updated). The only way I've been able to get them back is to remove them and then go get them again. This is very discouraging and I hope the bug gets fixed soon.

Fonts have vanished !

...and I have no idea why. I only have one font manager, the default 'Font Book'.
This has happened a few times now, and it is a little frustrating. I should have 168 fonts- but now a load have gone missing and I only have 74 fonts.
I have tried to add the missing ones back using font book, and although the little 'busy' wheel spins for a few moments, the fonts do not reappear in font book.
This is a bit worrying as this usually solves the problem. If anyone can help, it would be great.
Not sure if it has any relevance, but I have MS Office 2004 and iWork '05 installed.

At this point, your font count keeps changing because you have created a ton of font conflicts. A conflict occurs when you have identical, or identically named fonts active at the same time. By doing the copy/paste into the /Library/Fonts/ folder, you created a conflict for every font that also exists in the ~/Library/Fonts/ (home account) folder.
There's a couple things you can do that should clear it up.
1) If you have a complete set of fonts in the /Library/Fonts/ folder, then delete all of them from your user account.
2) Follow these steps as outlined by Dr. Smoke in Undoing Font Book. Then follow this additional step. Download and run Mark Douma's Font Finagler to clear the font cache files on the system.
Once you restart after following the instructions for Font Book and clearing the caches, your font problems should be cleared up. Note that any font collections you may have created will be gone.

CC Typekit Fonts "already installed" error

After syncing typekit fonts for desktop use, they show in Creative Cloud under the "fonts" tab, but some with the error "A font with the same name is already installed". Of course they are not already installed as they have only been obtained via Typekit.
The only way to get rid of this annoying error message this is to remove them via manage fonts and the add them again via Typekit. Then it's good for a few days until the error comes back again. Annoying.

Hi, I have problem with accesing Assets - Fonts (Synced Typekit fonts)!

Hi, I have problem with accesing Assets -> Fonts (Synced Typekit fonts)!
Can You help me with that problem?

Hi Tarik,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. There are a few things we can check right away to start debugging this:
- First, would you try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and see if this solves the issue? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account.
- Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve the issue?
- Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under: Gear > Preferences > Fonts. Wait a second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try syncing again. Did this solve it?
- Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
If none of those worked, would you attach the CoreSync files and send those to our support email: [email protected]?
On the Mac, the folder can be found here:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
(You'll want to open the Finder, click Go, in the menu, hold down the "option" key and you'll see the Library folder.)
On Windows:
You can find the files under: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\coreSync-2013-08-xx.log
I know this is a lot. Thanks for your help here.
Cheers,

HT2509 why can't I install Decker Font in Font Book. I have Lion

I have been trying to install the font Decker into my Font Book for a job I'm doing but it will not install. Has anyone else had this problem and has been able to solve this dilemma? If so, can you help me out?
Thanks,
Deb

From legit sites and I'm downloading it, unzipping it and putting it in my font book but my font book has 'problems' with this font and will not install any of the Decker.ttf fonts I've tried to install. I've gone to sites to buy the font too.
I also don't know why I have Font Book 198.4 when I have Mac OS X 7, I think I'm supposed to have Font Book 3. I can't seem to find out if that's the issue....
Any thoughts?
Thanks

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:

I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

Why are the TypeKit fonts I am syncing not showing up for use in Illustrator?

Hi there,
I am beyond frustrated right now. But that's neither here nor there for anyone reading this so I will get to the point.
I have synced the TypeKit font, Tablet Gothic Wide to my Mac, but it simply won't show up as a font choice in Illustrator. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. I've confirmed that the font selections are added to your account correctly.
In case you weren't aware, the Creative Cloud application needs to be running on your computer in order for the fonts to be synced. If you don't have that installed, you can download it for free from https://creative.adobe.com/products
Once you have Creative Cloud running:
- Are the fonts showing up in the Fonts tab of Creative Cloud?
- If you haven't done so already, would you please try turning off font sync in the Creative Cloud application, wait a moment, and then turn it back on? The option to do this is under the gear icon in Preferences > Fonts ("sync on/off"). Sometimes the app just needs a fresh session for the fonts to appear again.
If that doesn't make a difference, please send your recent sync log files to Typekit Support at [email protected] so that we can look into it further.
Thank you,

OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
--If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
--If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.

Typekit font not displaying in iPad DPS app (created by Indesign) in Web Content (Edge Animate)

I think I have tried every permutation to make this work, but I am probably missing something.
I am creating a single DPS iPad app with InDesign, and I am using a Typekit font throughout. So far so good.
I have created an Edge Animate project using the same Typekit font. In preview mode, it is fine as well.
However, when I place the Edge Animate project into a frame in InDesign and use the Web Content Folio Overlay (regardless of whether I use the .oam file or link directly .html output published by Animate), the Typekit font will not show up in the Edge Animate portion of the DPS app and will instead use a fallback font.
Can anyone suggest a way to make Typekit fonts in Edge Animate work when embedded in a DPS app? (For what it's worth, I have the same problem when embedding html output from Tumult Hype, so it seems unlikely that this is an issue with Edge Animate at all and probably has more to do with something in the way the DPS app is dealing with embedded html content.)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Believe me, I understand the pain. Unfortunately there's only so much we can do at Adobe as the EULAs provided by the foundries for their respective fonts are very explicit in where you can and can not use them.
For example, packaging an InDeisgn file and sending it off for pre-press with the fonts included in the package is in direct violation of most font EULAs. In a studio environment, you're only allowed to have a font installed on n number of computers and need to have multiple licenses to accomidate >n number of seats. When creating a PDF, fonts explicitly have to be subsetted before embedding into the PDF.
That's just to paint a picture of the fragile state of using fonts in print, usage in digital mediums is just another bee in your bonnet when it comes to considering when you can and cannot use a font.
Services like Typekit Desktop are trying to make this easier by removing a lot of those pain and condierations for you, by blanketing all these fonts under a single license you're free to use for print and the web. There's still some gotchyas, but we're aiming to greatly reduce how much you have to think about it where we can.
So yes there's a bit of education when it comes to mixing embedded HTML content/fonts with DPS, but at least there's options

Typekit fonts not available in Lightroom (and only in Lightroom)

Hi,
I have been a Creative Cloud member (full membership) for quite a while now and just this week I noticed that Typekit fonts I've synced to my computer are available on all the CC apps I use, except for Lightroom.
The fonts are evidently synced correctly (since I can, for instance, use them within Photoshop CC). However, whenever I try to create a new watermark within Lightroom, my Typekit fonts are nowhere to be found.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, latest Creative Cloud desktop app and all my CC software is up to date. I have searched and roamed the web for hours and have not found a single way to solve this issue.
I have already tried to sign out and back in, restart all apps, restart CC desktop, reboot windows, all while being permanently connected to the internet.
Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
Best regards
Javier

Hi Javier,
Thanks you for sending an email to Typekit Support! I have forwarded it to our lead Product Manager, and asked him to look into it the bug report with the Lightroom team. We'll update you again over email once we know more about the bug.
There isn't another workaround to use the fonts from Typekit in your watermark, unfortunately. If there are one of two fonts you really would like to use, you do have the option of purchasing the desktop license from the foundry and installing the font on your computer. Once it is installed, it will be added to all the type menus in Lightroom.
If you'd like to look into that, here are the foundry websites for the two fonts you have synced from Typekit:
Felt Tip Roman - Felt Tip Roman – Mark Simonson
FF Market - FF Market fonts from the FontFont Library
And again, we will follow up in your support email with more information as well. Best,
-- liz

Why do many Typekit fonts look bad on publish of Muse website?

I have published more than a dozen websites with Adobe Muse and Typekit fonts. I have really been drawn to Typekit and the beautifull fonts it brings into Muse. When I am in design mode on a Muse site the fonts look great. My problem is when I preview the site withing Adobe Muse or publish it online the fonts rasterize terribly. I understand that certain fonts display better smaller or bigger but even when I apply this knowledge in my design it still often shows a lack of clarity in fonts. Is there a way to help these fonts appear better? Perhaps I am missing something here but what I don't know.

Every OS, OS version and browser renders live text differently. This is true of fonts served from Typekit as well as fonts installed in the local system. I expect the variation you're seeing is the differences between the AIR rendering in the Design view, the Webkit rendering in Muse Preview and the browser+OS+OS version rendering for whatever environment you're using.
There's a 7 part blog post on typekit.com that explains all the interactions and variations across OSes, OS versions and browsers.
