Typekit Desktop Fonts

I tried to load a font from Typekit to use in InDesign, but my Creative Cloud Desktop doesn't actually show it as synced; Typekit shows that I snyced it. How do I use the desktop font?

Hi Leah,
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?
- 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?
- Could you check version of the Creative Cloud app you're using and let me know which version it is? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account
I know this is a lot. Thanks for your help here. If this doesn't help, would you please send us an email at: [email protected] and we can look into your account?
Let me know and we'll take it from there. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Cheers,
Benjamin

  • How to use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps or e.g. Font Explorer X Pro on OS X

    How can I use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps e.g. Pages or Font Explorer X Pro on OS X?

    Hello,
    Thanks for your interest in Typekit!  This help page shows how to select fonts from Typekit for desktop use and sync them to your computer:
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
    Once the fonts have synced to your Creative Cloud account, they will automatically be added to the font menus in all of your desktop applications, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
    Typekit fonts are not added to your font management software, however; you'll manage these font selections directly from the "synced fonts" page in your Typekit account.
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!  You may post them here on the forum or email us directly at [email protected]  Best,

  • Typekit desktop fonts are synced but the fonts are not working

    I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud services and immediate have noticed that Typekit is hit or miss. I have no trouble syncing the fonts on Typekit.com, they show as synced in my CC control panel. Photoshop CC sometimes even recognize the missing fonts as typekit fonts on a PSD load and ask if I want to update the missing fonts with the Typekit fonts, I confirm I do or in general try to use the synced fonts, and it doesn't work – fonts are missing. I restart Photoshop, I restart my computer, I attempt the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it eventually works, but today its not. This is all very frustrating since access to Typekit was one of the main reasons I decided to go on the Adobe Creative Cloud. Please help!

  • 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,

  • Typekit desktop sync removes rather then adding font

    I am encountering a very strange problem.
    I had used typekit desktop sync which worked fine. In the middle of creating a document the font suddenly stopped working. As I try to work through this problem, I notice when I try to readd the font (after removing it) it consistently says "5 font files have been removed" even though I just selected them to sync to the desktop.
    Instead of adding them when desktop syncing is selected, it removes them (even though they were never present). It is very strange and I could not find a topic relating to this.
    Any ideas?

    Moved from the Creative Cloud to the File And Font Sync Early Access forum. They will be able to help you here.

  • 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,

  • Why are my desktop fonts not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore?

    Why are my desktop fonts are not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore? I know that my desktop fonts are not web safe and will export as an image... But I would still like to have them as an option. Why did this start with the latest release? I cannot find anything in the preferences or menus to make them show up as an option. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and Muse 2014.0.1.30 CL785017. Please help!!!

    Hello,
    Could you please try the following:-
    Reboot in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key (it takes a while) so the OS clears the font cache.
    Reboot then in normal mode and the fonts should show properly.
    Regards,
    Neha

  • 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.
    Image Not working in IE
    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.
    Best,

    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?

  • TypeKit Personalized Font Groups

    Hi Adobe Community!
    I am a new user of TypeKit and I am used to using the LinoType font management system in the past. I am trying out TypeKit because it is included as a part of my Adobe Subscription. I love all the automatic search features included in TypeKit, but I am looking for a way to make my own lists/groups of fonts. I am primarily a print designer, and so my font use is mainly for Desktop only. The kits seem to lend themselves nicely to web projects, but is there a way of making personalized font groupings for easy sorting and narrowed selection? Any insight would be most helpful!
    Thank you,
    Traci

    I group them in Sets in FAP (FontAgent Pro), my font manager.  No, the sets are not reflected in the font menu in Photoshop.

  • Typekit and Font Management : Still a bit confused

    I am still a little confused as to how the new Creative Cloud TypeKit works and how it will or will not effect our workflow.
    We currently use Extensis Universal Type Server (UTS). We have a team membership license for Creative Cloud. Does TypeKit interject itself before fonts are loaded from UTS?
    If fonts are downloaded to the desktop from TypeKit do I need to copy these into UTS? Should my users mix and match fonts acquired with UTS and TypeKit or maintain the status with UTS? Can you disable TypeKit if this is the case? How can we resolve conflicts with fonts if UTS and TypeKit are running?
    Do we need to purchase fonts now that with TypeKit the claim is all fonts from Adobe are free with CC membership? How does this interact with UTS?
    Does Adobe still sell fonts if TypeKit being part of the CC subscription implies the complete catalog is free?
    How are font licensing issues handled with TypeKit? In the past, font licensing was a big concern in publishing and still very confusing as to use and purchasing.
    I have been trying to get a firm understanding of the use and rights of fonts throughout my career and with TypeKit it puts many of my past understandings into perplexity.
    Thank you for any answers towards my questions.

    I received an email response from and Adobe Rep:
    Let me see if I can clear things up here:
    > 1. We currently use Extensis Universal Type Server (UTS). We have a team membership license for Creative Cloud. Does TypeKit interject itself before fonts are loaded from UTS?
    A: Unfortunately, I don't have the details here. However, Extensis announced that Typekit can work along side UTS: http://blog.extensis.com/font-management/universal-type-server-now-supports-use-typekit-de sktop-fonts.php
    Typekit doesn't install the fonts the same way you would install a perpetual license. I hope that article helps clarify specific questions.
    > 2. If fonts are downloaded to the desktop from TypeKit do I need to copy these into UTS? Should my users mix and match fonts acquired with UTS andTypeKit or maintain the status with UTS? Can you disable TypeKit if this is the case? How can we resolve conflicts with fonts if UTS and TypeKit are running?
    A: UTS and Typekit should be able to work at the same time. However, you won't be able to add Typekit fonts to UTS. Each CC Team user would need to sync the fonts from Typekit that they wish to use.
    > 3. Do we need to purchase fonts now that with TypeKit the claim is all fonts from Adobe are free with CC membership? How does this interact with UTS?
    A: If the font you need is in Typekit and you have a Portfolio Plan (through Creative Cloud Teams or otherwise) you get access to that font. So, you can sync it from Typekit and use it in desktop apps. If a font isn't available on Typekit, you would need to purchase a perpetual license for the team and add it to UTS like you have with other fonts.
    > 4. Does Adobe still sell fonts if TypeKit being part of the CC subscription implies the complete catalog is free?
    A: Currently, you can still purchase perpetual licenses to Adobe owned fonts as well as some other fonts that they resell. However, the Adobe owned fonts and many other commercial fonts are available with a Typekit subscription. Access to Typekit isn't really free. You're paying for it when you pay for Creative Cloud. It's just that Typekit doesn't cost you anything extra since it's included.
    > 5. How are font licensing issues handled with TypeKit? In the past, font licensing was a big concern in publishing and still very confusing as to use and purchasing.
    A: This article is a good place to start: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590-typekit-font-licensing
    If you have specific questions about licensing or use cases, feel free to ask.I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Typekit Desktop Sync

    After applying, I received an email telling me I have been selected for early access to Typkit desktop syncing. Thanks for that, however when I log in to Typekit there is no Desktop button or option. Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Tommy Hood

    You need to log into Typekit from your Creative Cloud Desktop application. If you haven't downloaded it go to creative.adobe.com. Log in with your Adobe ID. Then go to the Download Center and download the application called Creative Cloud. When launched, it will look like this:
    From the Fonts tab, choose Browse Fonts on Typekit.
    Good luck!

  • TypeKit desktop syncing only for Lion?

    Hi,
    I've just recieved an invite to use the new TypeKit font syncing for desktop Apps, Great! I follow the link to begin, which prompts me to download the latest Creative Cloud. This just re-installs App manager and that's it!!!
    So I'm assuming I can't get the latest Creative Cloud App because it's not available to anything below Mac OS X 7
    As much as i'd like the cool toolbar icon and BeHance integration, I'm happy to live without it for now. So how do I sync the fonts????? Typekit states this "Typekit does not support Windows 2000 or Mac OS 10.3 and earlier"
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks

    Hi Oli,
    I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Unfortunately, right now, the syncing of the fonts is handled by the Creative Cloud app. So it's required in order to use desktop sync fonts from Typekit.
    I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help here. I can definitely share your request with the team. Let us know if you need anything else: [email protected]

  • Why can't I replace missing fonts with my desktop fonts?

    I just updated to CC 2014 which implemented the new Typekit features. Now "Find Font" is "Resolve missing fonts..." which only allows missing fonts to be replaced with Typekit fonts or other fonts already found in the document.
    Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous? I have a document with the 'Avenir Next Pro' font missing, but have no way to change all instances to the "Avenir Next" font that I have installed on my computer.
    The only thing that seems to work, is to select each instance of the missing font and then change the font in the character menu. Or to change one text layer and then use "Resolve missing fonts..." to select the font that has now become an option that
    it exists in the document. Both processes work, but they're heavy handed and leave a lot of room for human error. Plus they're frickin' annoying!
    What gives, Adobe?
    - a confused and grumpy, lazy designer.

    No you're not the only one who finds this ridiculous. Font replacement in other Adobe apps works absolutely fine, so why is the Photoshop team intent on making this into a difficult useless feature?

  • Typekit embedded fonts not showing in Live Preview?

    Not Edge Web fonts, but is Typekit supported yet?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have this in the header:
    <script src="http://use.typekit.net/xxxxxxx.js"></script>
        <script>try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>
    The site loads locally and remotely with fonts showing correctly from Typekit...just not in Edge Code live preview. (xxxxxxx is for placement)
