Lists of fonts by Adobe application

Does Adobe publish list(s) of fonts by application? I don't believe it exists, but it would be useful. I am trying to track down the application that installed Hypatia Sans Pro (for one of my users on their old PC, but now need it re-installed on their upgraded PC). From a little research, it appeared like it should be included with CS3 Design Premium, but after installing it, the font is still not present.

You can find a list of fonts installed by each CS version at http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/fonts-installed-by-adobes-creative-suite
The fonts installed by individual apps are the same.
Hypatia Sans Pro was never bundled with any app or suite. The six upright fonts were one of the registration incentive gifts of CS3 http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2007/04/hypatia_sans.html

How do I deactivate fonts in Adobe applications, CS6, Mac OS 10.6.8?

After years using font management applications (Suitcase, FontExplorer) a couple of years ago suspicion of corrupt fonts led me to strip down to using just FontBook as a minimalist font management tool. It is very cumbersome though that even though in FontBook I deactivate all the fonts I'm not working with or wanting to explore, a huge list shows up in my Adobe applications. How can I control/sync my preferences for which fonts are active or not? I'm a graphic designer, so this is a real annoyance.

You cannot deactivate fonts when the are installed as system fonts. But you can install fonts for some software manufacturer like Adobe for them only in the Application Support in their subfolder is a font.
With InDesign you can also install fonts for InDesign only in InDesign's font folder.
With in InDesign you can also install fonts on a Document level only, if you place them in a folder named "Document fonts" which has to be in the same directory as the INDD file is.
But with the current CC versions you see in the font dialog a star at the left of the font's name. Click on this star, then it will become a Favorite, and then you can click above to filter your favorites only. This will hide all other fonts. This may work for you to reduce the list.

Using fonts bundled with Adobe applications

I use the Adobe CS6 Design & Premium / Middle East Version.
I have a question regarding the use of the fonts bundled with Adobe applications.
I design and sell greeting cards and printable items you can download and print at home or at a print house.
Before I send the file to a client I convert the type to a shape (Photoshop) or create outlines (Illustrator/Indesign) and sometimes I send a pdf file.
Am I allowed to use these fonts for these purposes??
Is it ok to use these fonts that way?
One more question,
How can I find out if a font is bundled with Adobe or installed with my OS? is there a list of adobe fonts that are installed with CS6?
Hope to hear from you soon
Thank you!!

it is an allowed use. But if you are sending them a pdf, you need to convert the fonts to outline nor rasterize it. Adobe allows embedding of their fonts in pdf files. However, not all font houses allow this. If you have a font that doesn’t allow embedding, the Adobe app will not embed the font.

XP Pro Windowsw/Fonts has a font. It is listed as available in MS Word. It is not listed as available in Adobe Illustrator CS6. How do I fix this? Thanks.

BobbyH5280. Very helpful answer! I am XP for the next week on CS6. I did find 3 items that helped. The fonts are in AI, but are listed on the bottom of the list. Also in Edit/Preferences/Type, checking "Show Font Names in English" makes the font list easier to read (doesn't appear to change the sort order though), and (with your suggestion) checking "Sow Asian Options" might do something positive. Thanks to all of you who sent in tips.

Edge Animate site says it's still free, but it's missing in Adobe Application Manager list.

http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/ says:
"Get started with Edge Animate and the rest of the Edge Tools & Services with a free Creative Cloud membership"
but there's no An icon at the Creative Cloud site interface or in the Adobe Application Manager list.
Can someone please provide some info about this? I hope that the reason for this is taht it's just some update that's on it's way, not the cancelation of free usage.
Tnx in advance.

True, WinXP is the problem. I've been looking for the requirements for the Edge (though that x64 os version is required) and it states that Win7 is a must.
That solves it. Thank you for your effort.
Hope this clears things up for other people.

Adobe Application Manager Doesn't list any 2014 versions of programs. How do I update to those versions?

My Adobe application manager doesn't list the 2014 versions of the core programs. I need them to grade the work of my students, as my school runs these versions and I can't open the work on my computer.

Thank you, for your help
I got it while waiting for the answer. The "Application Manager" is not how these get installed (how would I know that). I installed the "Adobe Creative Cloud" application and got the new versions.
It's was confusing because the Application manager installed on Nov 4. Very recently right! (but just prior to updating my operating system to Yosemite, OK Duh). And of course Yosemite has changed the look and functionality of everything, including this, so anything I was doing that should be intuitive was less so.

About Windows 7 and Adobe applications

Tech Notes
Installing and using Windows 7 with Adobe applications
Adobe trials expire immediately after upgrading to Windows 7

There is a known bug with CS3 and all 64-bit versions of Windows (not just Windows 7) in which Type 1 fonts installed in the C:\Windows\fonts directory simply do not show up in the applications. This was fixed for CS4. The workaround is to also install those Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite private font directory. They will then show up in the CS3 applications' font lists.

List missing fonts in Illustrator

Hi all,
I've been working on a script to try and build a list of font's that not loaded in Illustrator. I know that Illustrator will alert missing fonts when a document is opened but this routine will be part of a larger script that will have the user dialogs turned off. My process is to build a list of fonts that are available to the the application, then build a list of fonts that are used within the active document and cross reference them to see if there are document fonts that are not in the application fonts list.
I have used a great function that I believe was posted originally by Moluapple and with some some brilliant advice from the always helpful CarlosCanto I thought that I had found the soultion but it appears to have some limitations. If I get a list of fonts available to the application and the document that I want to cross reference them against is open, the list that's returned contains fonts that are used in the document. Then when I get a list of fonts used in the document and cross reference them they will all be in the application list regardless of whether they're loaded or not.
The only way that I can get accurate results are if I run the script without any documents open and build a list of application fonts, then open a document and build a list of document fonts and then cross reference. This is the only way I can find out what fonts aren't loaded.
Does anybody know of another way to build a list of missing fonts without having to close documents first? I have searched through the XMP data and this doesn't seem to give me any clues and I've tried writing the code in applescript but it appears to work in the same way. Any help or comments would be welcome.
Here's my code:
#target illustrator
var doclist = app.textFonts
var appFontList = new Array ();
for (i=0;i< app.textFonts.length; i++){
    var fontName = app.textFonts[i].name;
    appFontList[i] = fontName;
var myfile = File.openDialog ('Choose a file');
app.open (myfile);
var docFontsList = getUsedFonts(activeDocument);
// function accredited to Moluapple
function getUsedFonts (doc ){
     var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString);
     fontsInfo = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontName");
     var ln = fontsInfo.length(), arr = [];
     for (var i = 0; i<ln; i++){arr.push(fontsInfo[i])};
     return arr;
var missingFontsList = checkFonts();
alert(missingFontsList);
function checkFonts(){
    var fontArray = new Array ();
    for (i=0; i < docFontsList.length; i++){
        var thisDocFont = docFontsList[i];
        var activeFont = false;
        for (j = 0; j < appFontList.length; j++){
            var thisAppFont = appFontList[j];
            if (thisDocFont == thisAppFont){
                activeFont = true;
        if (activeFont == false){
            fontArray.push (thisDocFont);
    return fontArray;
Many Thanks,
Nik

Mark,
you are a legend!!!!
with yours and Carlos' help I think I have raged against the system that is Adobe and come out victorious!!!!!!!!
I Finally have a script that doesn't tell me lies.
Building a list of fonts that are available from InDesign, then building a list of fonts that the active Illustrator document is using and comparing the 2 lists I've managed to locate the fonts that aren't active. I'm sure the script could have some fine tuning but hopefully it might help others who just want to know if fonts are missing before creating a PDF that contains false font information.
Thanks again all,
Nik

Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap/<SID>/J<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerServicedirectory
Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts directory created in the previous step
Copy your font file(s) into the customer directory

How to install Adobe Application Manager?

How to install Adobe Application Manager? I downloaded it, but can't install.
Just purchased the CC for photographers. Have been using Photoshop since version 3.
I have been studying your support docs for several days and have no business messing around with something called, .gz files and installation logs. Totally unsuccessful "Updating" my CS6 or CS6 bridge or Extension Manager or the Adobe Support Advisor by the CC Desktop.
Have no Photoshop CS6 because I followed your CC support instructions.
Uninstalled my CS6 today so I can finish a job tomorrow. Bad decision on my part because I can't reinstall it and am unable to correct
this problem.
I was able to use CC to update LR, but am absolutely too afraid to touch it now.
I have been waiting inline for Chat also, but the numbers ahead of me are going up.
If someone in this Community forum can help me, it would be fabulous.
Thanks very much.

Uninstalled Creative Cloud.
Downloaded it again - 4th time.
Deleted a AAMDetect file from the Library/Internet Plug-ins
Downloaded and installed Adobe App Manager and an icon for it is on my Desktop
Installed Creative Cloud.
OK.
Now how do get my Photoshop CS6 back before I download Photoshop CC?
CS6 is not listed in the available Apps in the CC Desktop.
Support wait time right now is 2 hours by phone.
After sitting on Chat yesterday only to see the people "waiting ahead of me" go from 17 to 18, I gave up.
Please advise.
Thanks again.

Creative Cloud / Adobe Application Manager

Do Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager do the same thing/ duplicate each other?
Creative Cloud says Photoshop CC is up to date & on checking the version, it's on 14.1.1
CS6 (which i already had installed before joining CC) recently updated itself to CS6 'Extended' & currently shows as version 13.0.1
Adobe Application Manager popped up today saying there's an update for Photoshop CS6 & Photoshop CC to 13.1.2 it states:
"This Adobe® Photoshop® and Photoshop Extended 13.1.2 update installs new features for Adobe Creative Cloud members and Photoshop subscribers. It offers exciting new capabilities for design, photography and more, including the freedom to nondestructively edit with Blur Gallery and Liquify using new Smart Object support, the ability to export text and shapes as CSS, the option to create Conditional Actions, and support for new HiDPI displays that enable a dramatic improvement in image fidelity and resolution. Other new workflow timesavers are also included. Customers with Photoshop Extended will also receive new 3D options including improved live previews that simplify the creation of shadows and reflections in 3D artwork and a 32-bit color picker for better illumination control, and more."
Am I too assume that Creative Cloud only updates Phtoshop CC & that Adobe Application manager updates CS6?
I guess too that if i click 'update' in Adobe Application Manager, it will update CS6 & leave CC as it is? (if I deselect the CC update, it deselects the CS6 update too).

Hi Les,
Creative CLoud Desktop App and Application Manager are the same thing . The pop up that you are getting is from Adobe Application Manager updater and the sole purpose of this application is to connect to the Adobe servers and find out if there is any update available or not .
The update window that you have got is for CS6 only as there isnt any update for PS CC available right now( current version is 14.1.1) .
Cheers,
Kartikay Sharma
Thanks Kartikay. I'm sure i'd read somewhere on the forums that Creative Cloud when installed would replace the Application manager? However, I went ahead and clicked on 'update' in Application manager & it said it was trying to apply 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' (no mention of CS6). Tthe update failed with the following message:
'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
Installation failed. Error code: U44M1P7'
I've tried removing Photoshop CC from the list of programs to check for updates for in Application Manager but that made no difference either - the update for 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' remains & failed again when I tried to apply it.
I then tried removing CS6 from the list of programs to be checked in Application Manager & then it reported all my programs are up to date; when re-checked the box for CS6 the update reappears.
So it seems there is an update for CS6 but there's the 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' update linked to it which cannot be unticked without removing the CS6 update as well. If I try to check for updates within CS6, the same problem occurs.
So if the update is indeed just for CS6, how can i apply the update?

Adobe Application Manager Stuck in Menu Bar - Mac

Hello,
A few years ago, before I upgraded to my own Mac, I installed the CS5 trial on my husband's Mac, seeing if his computer could handle the Creative Suite. Well, it couldn't. It's an older Mac, so I purchased my own,and have since upgraded to Creative Cloud on my own Mac.
The Adobe Application Manager is still stuck on my husband's Mac. I have uninstalled the entire CS5 suite, (I downloaded a trial version to his computer at least two years ago), run the Adobe Cleaner, and also used CleanMyMac. The updated with the number is still stuck in his menu bar.
I tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager this morning, from the Adobe website, but I am receiving an error on the installation. HELP! This computer does not have any of the Adobe Creative Suite products anymore, so I can't open the Application Manager and disable it. I did try to open his Adobe Reader, and click on Check For Updates, but that just tells me that Adobe Reader is up-to-date.

Let's see...
Ok - In the Language tab everything's listed (and probably has been since 2008) with English at the top - so I'll delete everything except English and reboot.
And... I'll be darned. Now the AAM UI is in English.
So I wonder why this has never cropped up in the 4+ years I've been running this rig?
Oh well - this workaround will get me through the installs, but it seems like the AAM could use a little polish in this area
Thanks!

Creative Cloud Programme wie indesign CC usw. werden nicht im Adobe Application Manager angezeigt

Ich habe Adobe Mastercollection CS6 installiert und parallel dazu nun Adobe Cloud for Teams abonniert. Beide möchte ich auf einem PC nutzen. Wenn ich von Adobe Cloud for Teams Programme installieren möchte, zeigt mir der Adobe Application Manager nur die bereits installierten Programme wie indesign CS6, Photoshop CS6 usw. an und die Programme der Cloud, die in der Master Collection nicht vorhanden waren. Warum wird nicht indesign CC oder photoshop CC zum Download angeboten?
Eine weitere Frage:Ist die Nutzung von Typekit in Adobe Cloud kostenlos?

Warum wird nicht indesign CC oder photoshop CC zum Download angeboten?
Weil sie noch nicht verfügbar sind --> 17. Juni.
Eine weitere Frage:Ist die Nutzung von Typekit in Adobe Cloud kostenlos?
Nur die vordefinierten Fonts die in Edge, Muse usw. verfügbar sind und natürlich mit den dafür definierten Volumenrestriktionen (50000 Seitenaufrufe pro Monat oder so). Für alles andere muss man TypeKit upgraden.

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

Hello ducky,
as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
