Typekit font missing

Hi,
I font a nice looking font in Typekit that is both available as Desktop and Webfont.
I have used it in an Indesign project and wanted to use it in Muse, to be consistent (I choose that font because it was available for both)
But when I want to use the webfont in muse it does not exist?
Can someone tell me why?
I now have to use it in Muse as a System Font, that saves all my text as images, why can't I use the webfont?
Kind Regards,
Jonas Christoffersen

Hi Jonas,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Currently, you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse.
If you're comfortable with a little HTML/CSS, 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
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.
However, we do see the value of being able to design in Muse with all the fonts in your Typekit library. This will require a deeper integration between Typekit & Muse. I'll give the team a nudge in this direction for you.
Let me know if you have any further questions and thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
Benjamin

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,

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,

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.

Unlicensed fonts in Adobe Typekit (Font Server)

Right now our company is in negotiations with licensing for the full Adobe CC Suite.
We're looking at utilizing the Adobe Font Server - Typekit since it will be part of the licensing, but we believe we've run into a huge roadblock.
We've come to understand that Typekit doesn't like free fonts that weren't aquired through their list of registered Foundries.
The problem is, we literally have thousands that have been collected over many years we'd need to import.
Has anyone else out there come across this bridge yet?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. The Typekit logo is included in the missing fonts dialog for several Creative Cloud programs, most noticeably in InDesign. We have found that this causes confusion as it's not clear that the missing font prompt is often unrelated to Typekit; this will change in a future software update so that you only see the Typekit logo if the fonts that are missing are available for desktop sync.
You can also turn off the Typekit font sync option in your Creative Cloud application, under Preferences > Fonts. This won't remove the logo from the missing fonts window, but may reassure you that Typekit is no longer being invoked by your software programs.
I'm sorry that we can't provide another option at the moment, but it is something we are working on to improve in the near future. Please let me know if you have any other questions,

Creative Cloud looses synced Typekit fonts

Hi.
I'm having a lot of trouble with desktop synced Typekit fonts; Creative Cloud constantly looses some of the fonts I have synced. When I'm online, this is not a problem, but offline it is - I cannot sync the fonts again and so every workfile I have with synced fonts is totally un-editable until I'm back online. And this was also fine, but today Creative Cloud lost ALL my synced fonts, and told me that font is already added although Photoshop and all the other programs said it is not available. Same when I tried to add via Typekit; says that font is already added, and only option is to remove font. I could get the font back by first removing and then adding again with Typekit, but is not possible to do this with all fonts; I cannot remember every single font and style I have used by heart, only way knowing what is missing is to go thru all the files where I've used Typekit synced fonts.
Any suggestions how to solve this? This is harming my work a lot since there are several website projects going on that use Typekit fonts. I'm having serious doubts whether the whole Typekit is now unreliable to use on customer websites... The great Adobe support chat, that should be available 24/7, is closed so cannot ask them. I would highly appreciate a quick answer.
Thanks in advance

Moving the discussion to Adobe Type forum.

Typekit Fonts Not Syncing

Typekit fonts are not syncing. I open an Illustrator file I created with CC Illustrator and now it says that some typekit fonts are missing. I go to Typekit and it shows that the fonts are installed for Desktop. I go to CC .app and it says under the Fonts section that "Font sync is turned on..."
What the heck Adobe?
Fix this issue!
I'm tired of all this logging into this that and CC portal just to do work!
I'm tired of this, really frustrated and tired of it.
We're not getting our money's worth with all these issues.
Adobe, you are NOT what you used to be. You've gotten worse, not better.

Adobe you MUST knock these disruptions off!
Again, we are NOT getting our money's worth with so many disruptions.
Fix this stuff so it never happens again.
Ok, so now I will go out and tweet and FB post to all those who question Adobe... should I get CC? How is CC? Is it worth the money?
I will absolutely reply to them and tell them NO, IT IS NOT!

Typekit fonts aren't persistent

hi there! i Add Fonts From TypeKit (Illustrator, Photoshop, inDesign, it doesn't matter) and use them in a document. later, i open the document, and the Missing Fonts error appears. no TypeKit fonts are available. Creative Cloud reports all the fonts Synced.
frustrating. aren't they supposed to stick around?! i don't open these applications daily, so i'm not sure if there are restarts or updates in between sessions where the fonts disappear yet, but since Creative Cloud always reports the fonts synced, that shouldn't be relevant, right?

hi! the fonts are missing from all three apps.
i'm on PC; font management is straight up.
including a screenshot. you can see CC fonts it thinks are synced, a document highlighting font problems, and a font menu where they'd usually appear at the top.
one important thing i just learned: it took about ten minutes to get all this in order (and track down some log files), and when i returned to inDesign, the fonts were corrected, no longer missing. is it possible it just takes this long?

How do I use Typekit fonts within Edge Animate

I have applied a 'Pragmatica' Typekit font to a website. I'm using Edge animate to construct some pages and within these pages want to add Type; however, Edge Fonts does not include the Typekit font 'Pragmatica' and the instruction for the page to use Typekit seems not to filter through into the Edge animate section .... is there a way round this?

Hi, Trimmertop-
When you open up the Web Fonts viewer, you will see Edge Web Fonts by default. However, there is a tab next to it that says "Custom." You can stick in your kit code in that location.

Pls help - How can I add a typekit font to muse?

As Muse doesn't come with all typekit fonts already included in the dropdown list of webfonts, I'd like to know how I can add a typekit font to the dropdown menu so I can use it for my website. I have Adobe creative cloud membership.
I've searched the whole of the web and can't find anything about this at all - only about adding one of the existing muse typekit fonts which I already know how to do.
Why doesn't Adobe include all typekit fonts with Muse when you're already a full creative cloud subscriber?

Done!

How do I use the full range of Typekit fonts?

I want to use a couple of Typekit fonts (Calluna and Minion) that are not part of the Web Font library.
Is this now a feature in Muse CC or do I have to use a widget, such as this ...
Using Full Typekit Fonts in Adobe Muse CC - Widget by MuseThemes.com on Vimeo
Also, if I wanted to use another font ... such as Apercu ... not in the Typekit library, how do I do this?
Thanks very much
Simon

Hello Simon,
As of now Adobe only has visual support for the web font library. However you CAN use your type kit fonts. You can use a widget like the video posted describes, however you can also just use custom CSS in the page properties meta data.
It would look something like this:
<style>
p {
font-family: 'proxima-nova';
font-weight: 300;
font-style: italic;
h1{
font-family: 'proxima-nova';
font-weight: 600;
font-style: italic;
</style>
Attached are pictures explaining how to integrate type kit with the muse header custom html:
Navigate to typekit and create a new kit, make sure the domain YOUR site will be published on it selected. The star denotes any page.yourdomain.com.
After you click continue Adobe will give you some custom JQuery, a type of Javascript. Copy it and place it in your page properties > meta data <head> tag as shown below.
Add your desired fonts to the kit you created. After you select the style you want, click "using font in CSS" in the top left menu. A pop-upp box will appear with some code. Copy the bottom one to your clipboard.
Paste into the meta data head tag WITH <style> before and </style> afterwards. h1 denotes heading one, p denotes paragraph etc. The font-weight is the style, when you browse typekit it will tell you the wights; ie proxima nova semibold is 600, light is 100 etc. Font-style is the style: italics, bold etc. When adding this attributes, make sure they end with a semicolon (;).
Now the fun part: click on your text and go to the text menu. The very last field has a number or letter combo, h1, h2, p etc. These are the text styles that you inputed! If you want the text to correlate to you h1 code, then tag it h1. If you want iit to correlate to you p code, tag it p etc. ALL of your h1 will look the same and all of your p will look the same.
They will NOT be visible in the editor or preview, but only when published to your domain.
If that is too much work, just use the widget =).
Let me know if you have any Q's!
Cam
PS: sorry it was so choppy, I couldn't find a good video so I had to snap some quick screenshots.

Hi, I'd like to add some typekit fonts to my Muse site but- ?

I know this website:
How to add Typekit fonts to your Muse site
from Muse Insider,
but it totally doesn't work for me, I tried a lot of times and I don't know what I'm doing wrong (I know that I have to publish the site first to see the added font but it still doesn't work ) I'm really confused, please help! (the fonts I want to add is Brandon Grotesque, Activ Grotesque).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon...
thanks,
Karolina

I was pretty disappointed to find out Muse didn't support the full Typekit library when Typekit became available to Creative Cloud members. It's clearly one of the biggest drawbacks in a Muse vs. Dreamweaver comparison. There are hacks available to incorporate Typekit fonts into Muse, but the "how to" procedures are not very user friendly. Muse Themes has a Full Typekit widget, but even it's not all that easy to use. They have a nearly 9 minute long video on their website describing the procedure.
Adobe Muse Full Typekit Library Widget | MuseThemes.com
Additionally, I was pretty disappointed by the number of typefaces in Typekit that were web only (such as Brandon Grotesk) or had only one or two of several font weight available for the desktop/print version (such as Trajan Pro and Trajan Sans Pro).
As a consequence, I haven't messed with Typekit very much and honestly don't find a lot of value with it -at least not much of the access being blocked. So I'm still looking out for new fonts at bargain introductory pricing at sites like MyFonts or keeping an eye at some free sites like Font Squirrel.
Incidentally, the "Edge" fonts in Muse pale in comparison just with what's available for free at Font Squirrel. Within Muse you'll get a pretty limited number of weight/style choices with the Edge fonts. At Font Squirrel some of those same fonts have many more styles/weights available to them.
In the end, it's just a whole lot faster and easier to either buy or legally acquire web fonts either through pay sites like MyFonts or free sites like Font Squirrel and end up with the system and web fonts you can use on your computer in Muse without any crazy code hacks.

Why are TypeKit fonts not displaying correctly in Pages (iWork)?

I have just subscribed to TypeKit and am experiencing highly peculiar behavior from the two fonts I’m using in Pages (iWork): Basically, fonts in my document don’t respond appropriately to requested changes in style. For example, if I increase the point size by one point using the the formatting commands built into Pages, the font drops a point size. I’ve had the same experience using the kerning command, where the kerning decreases when I have set it to increase. (So far, the only fonts I’ve been using have been Futura PT and Proxima Nova.)
Look at the example in the screenshot: “FEATURED EXPERT” on the top line shows in Pages as being 24pt Futura PT Book. However, “SOLO,” a few lines down, which is definitely displaying as smaller, shows as 25pt Futura PT
In a potentially related issue, when I reopened this same document today, text boxes were suddenly too small for the text (again in Futura PT and Proxima Nova). It was as though Pages was suddenly reading those two fonts differently.
I have had no issues with other (non-TypeKit) fonts in the same document.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Any suggested fixes? I'm reluctant to unsync/resync the two affected fonts (the only ones I have sync'd to date) because I don't want to wreck the document!

Thanks, Christopher. After I posted my original question, I did come to realize that it was Helvetica not Future PT showing. Here’s what happened, and here’s why I still need some guidance…
The document dropped Future PT because when my wifi signal dropped, the Creative Cloud app displayed this error symbol (see graphic) in my menu bar.
At that point, my computer could no longer access my TypeKit fonts and the document reverted to the system's Helvetica default.
This was not an isolated incident.
If I turn wifi off manually, there is no issue and CC continues to operate in the background as it should, with TypeKit fonts still available.
However, if the wifi drops out on its own, I get the above error symbol and I then lose access to my TypeKit fonts. Very rarely, the CC app will self-correct when the signal is restored. More often than not, I must quit the CC app and relaunch it in order to get things back to normal.
This doesn’t strike me as normal behavior Have you ever encountered anything like it? Do you know of a fix that will allow the CC app to self-correct when the wifi signal is restored?
Any assistance will be appreciated!
Thanks!
P.S. TypeKit troubleshooting doesn’t address this particular issue.

Typekit fonts are not working after updating to Muse CC 2014

I had updated to Adobe Muse CC 2014 just recently. The first few times I used it on my muse file, it was fine. This morning when I opened the file, the text boxes using Typekit fonts blew out of proportion. I have not edited the file at all, just opened it. My site is a mess. Any idea what happened? The font I am using is Source Sans Pro.
My live site is here: www.goodseed.com
But see how it looks now in Muse:

Hi,
Please see Re: Source Sans Pro not displaying in 'Design' mode
