Typekit fonts availability

Hi, I just downloaded Adobe Muse final version and updated the website I've been working on in which I've been integrating Typekit fonts manually… Exciting move forward and ability to use my fonts easily!
BUT THEN I couldn't find my fonts in the menu! Are all Typekit fonts supposed to be available in Muse?
I have a Portfolio plan and the fonts I need to use are Proxima Nova Alt and Brandon Grotesque.
Thanks for helping me with that, can't wait to see everything fit into place!
EDIT: Here's Typekit answer to this. (HINT: bad news)
Currently Muse only has the free and open-source Typekit fonts available in it. In the future there will be kit integration, so that you have access to all the fonts in your Typekit plan.
Maybe someone from Adobe could tell me how long we have to wait for that…

Dani - thank you again for your quick and clear responses to my not always clear questions - You have been correct in all your assumptions.
Also I'd like to say you strike the perfect balance between representing Adobe and seeing it from the customers view - not just in your responses here but in your Jam sessions and demos.
New Question 1: If I download and pay for Proxima from a paid font library (or any matching desktop version to its typekit brother), can I use this desktop version in Muse for the 'design' phase. Then implement the museinsider.com work-around at publish stage to give me a WYSIWYG experience?
Am i right in assuming they'd need to be opentype or true type? Assume postscript won't work in Muse?
New Question 2): Yeah excited by the Max announcement of accompanying desktop versions. It quite literally took the request and absolute glaring need out my mouth/keyboard. I realise it is not due for release til June and details may be vague but do you have any knowledge whether this would likely be just the free typekit fonts or include some edge/paid fonts? If Adobe include edge fonts/aka paid - or atleast discount - to CC members, this would be a truly truly significant benefit to being a CC subscriber, and surely convert traditional adobe subscribers to CC members!?
Just response to previous:
(don't feel obliged to repsond specifically to this! ;-)
Have to say I was confused with the free and paid reference.
Thanks for the Edge being aka paid tip too. As a Creative Cloud member paid seemed not to apply to me because I get the portfolio typekit pack as part of my CC membership at no extra cost. As Typekit is now owned by Adobe - I, I think quite understably, assumed they would simply be available to me in the same way the free fonts are. No need to explain here - I am not having a go at you at all I 'feel your pain' in replying to the same problem - and understand their are technical and legal reasons. With over 15 years in the industry I really do know (and feel the pain of) font legalities. However in light this original post was a year ago it does feel a bit irksome.
I realise in the aquisition or merging of a company there is a pain barrier - but as a customer I don't want to feel that pain!
Adobe please throw your weight money and effort at this. If you see the Adobe logo on a product you expect an intergrated experience. As it currently stands it is a serious draw back to its core market: professional designers who have previously mocked up in Indesign, Illustrator Photoshop and passed to a developer.
Oh no. I've become one of those people that moan on forums! Sorry. It's becuase I really care about this and am speaking to someone who can hopefully make a difference or atleast voice this serious need.
I am super excited by Adobe's developments, have been to a few seminars and am a champion of Adobe products I really see Muse as a very serious solution to some web projects for non coding designers, which is why I have taken the time - unusually for me - to blither on here!
Thank you for the Adobe Edge Fonts Preview page tip also.

Not all Typekit Fonts available in Muse?

Hello,
it seems that not all the fonts that are available in Typekit can be used in muse... has anyone a suggestion?

Hi grafiklieschen,
Abhishek is correct: you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse. The full Typekit library isn't included in the font menu.
You can still use Typekit on your website, though; the fonts just won't show up in the Muse preview. 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.
We hope to have a more complete integration of Typekit with Muse in the future, but I can't say yet when that will be available.
I hope that this helps! Best,

Are typekit fonts available for print?

Can typekit fonts be packaged up as per fonts on my desktop?

Hello patcsant,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit. The Typekit Services Agreement does not permit Typekit desktop fonts to be transferred to another user or computer that isn’t already licensed for that font. This means that anyone you wish to share the document with (e.g. a colleague or a printer) needs to have their own license for the font, either through Creative Cloud or as a traditional desktop license.
You can read more on packaging fonts here:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1166052
Synced font data may be embedded in PDF and other digital documents, though. Creating a PDF file is, in most cases, the best and most reliable way to ensure typographic fidelity in documents destined for print output.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

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,

File sync returns and Typekit font sync now available!

File sync within the Creative Cloud desktop app is back! And font sync is now available for the first time.
Looks like it is rolling out gradually. You can register at http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-and-typekit-font-sync-rolling-out/
And here's an email I received about it:

That is correct. This functionality is being rolled out incrementally - that is, some folks will receive access to this first (in fact, some already have it now), and others will be added as soon as we can.
If you have not received an email similar to the one above, and you want to get early access to these functions, follow the link on the Creative Cloud Team Blog to sign up for the program. Details are there.

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:
Re: Adobe Creative Cloud / Desktop App / Home Screen: Constant Spinning Wheel
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

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.

Illustrator CC - Where are the Typekit fonts?

One of the things I anticipated most about upgrading from Illustrator CS6 to Illustrator CC was access to the Typekit font library. The Creative Cloud application manager merely has a "coming soon" banner under the "Fonts" menu. I don't see anything in Illustrator CC related to Typekit.
Does anyone know when the print oriented applications in CC are going to be able to use Typekit? Another thing I found disappointing in the fine print: only a partial group of Typekit fonts will be made available to applications like Illustrator CC and InDesign CC. Far more fonts are available to the web based applications. I figured I'd be able to use certain popular typefaces like Brandon Grotesk in Illustrator CC via Typekit. Now it looks like that might not be happening, at least not for now.

Hi Bobby,
As you've mentioned, we've announced the upcoming ability to sync Typekit fonts to your desktop. Unfortunatley, we don't have a specific ETA on this feature at the moment. However, we'll be sharing any updates on our blog: http://blog.typekit.com as they become available.
We're starting with 175 font families from 7 top-tier foundries. You’ll be able to sync them to your desktop and use them in all your applications for web mockups, print design, word processing, and more.
If you're wondering which fonts will be available to sync, please keep an eye on the blog: http://blog.typekit.com and twitter for announcements: http://twitter.com/typekit
Also, we're talking with foundry partners about desktop sync fonts on an ongoing basis, and plan to add more fonts to the service as we go. We'll announce new font additions on the Typekit blog.
In the meantime, if you need to work with a specific font in your desktop applications, you'll still need to acquire a desktop license from the foundry.
If you have any further questions regarding Typekit, feel free to drop us a line at: [email protected]
Cheers,
Ben

Firefox 21 applying weird kerning to Typekit font DIN

Recently noticed with FF 21 that there is some weird letter-spacing issues happening with one of my Typekit fonts on a production website. Nothing has changed with the codebase/implementation of the web font on my site, however FF 21 seems to be doing some weird things to the font.
The font affected is DIN Condensed Web from Typekit.
It is rendering correctly in all other browsers I've tested on my Mac (Opera, Chrome, Safari, etc).
Screenshot in FF: http://i.imgur.com/2xS508Z.png
Screenshot in Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/5BMc31G.png
Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks again for the quick reply.
I tried the solutions from that thread, but it did not solve my issue.
Here is what I tried:
# "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
# Restart Firefox
# "Disable hardware acceleration when available"
# Restart Firefox
Still no luck :(

Using Typekit fonts in print projects

I have just started using a Typekit font for my demonstrations.
However, I am interested in using it for my next book but I have questions.
Are the Typekit fonts suitable for print production? They are listed as OpenType. Is that ordinary OpenType?
The Typekit fonts don't show up in the Documet Fonts folder when the job is packaged? If I have to send native ID files to my publisher, what would they have to have to edit the job?
Are the fonts embedded in PDF files?
Anyone have any caveats I should know about?

Mario,
There is absolutely nothing underhanded about what Ben is telling you.
There are two ways you can use the Typekit fonts for print publishing workflows.
(1)     The first way is to compose in InDesign with the Typekit fonts as you would with any fonts that you have otherwise licensed and have installed on your desktop system. For the purposes of printing, export PDF (preferably PDF/X-4 settings) and send the resultant PDF file to your print service provider. All the Typekit fonts are properly embedded in the PDF file and your print service provider should have no issues with printing the text formatted with said fonts.
(2)     The second method assumes that your print service provider (or some intermediary) is going to be doing further edits to your work before producing the PDF file that you would have created per (1) above. Typically you would “package” such documents into a directory structure that copies linked content and fonts. The only difference with the Typekit fonts is that such fonts are not included in the package. But since whoever is going to do those further edits and/or PDF export also needs the CC version of InDesign, they will also have access to the same Typekit fonts that you do via the Creative Cloud software. There is no need to package the fonts from them. If they have older CS versions of InDesign, they will not be able to open your CC version InDesign document anyway.
So what is exactly the problem you are complaining about? You have access to the fonts. Your print service provider has access to the fonts (assuming they have the software necessary to even open up your InDesign document).
The only difference is that Typekti fonts are not available as “loose” font files. You can't install them on any system that isn't currently licensed for the Adobe Creative Cloud.
(For what it is worth, common practice notwithstanding, the ability to package the fonts - other than Typekit fonts and certain Asian fonts - used in an InDesign document does not free the recipient of the obligation to fully and properly license such fonts. The packaging operation is provided as a convenience, not as a substitute for properly licensing the digital assets in question!)

Integrating Typekit fonts into BC Blogs and News

Hi guys,
Wondering what is the best way of integrating Typekit fonts into the BC Blog and News modules - more so on the layout/details of blogs and news.
I can easily do it on my website when I add the blog & news modules, but CSS overrides, but when you click on the blog or news link, it just stays in whatever BC web font is available.
Any tricks for this? I am using Josephin font on my clients site, and he wants this for his blog and news articles as well.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
on the BC version, do you use a template? Seems like there are no styles used whatsoever.
Do you have the script file installed on the BC blog template like you have on your other website? I couldn't find it in your source code.
Picked that from your other website:
<script src="http://webfonts.creativecloud.com/fredericka-the-great:n4:all;josefin-sans:n6,n3,n7:all.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

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,

Why can I still not access any of the decent Typekit fonts?

I've been waiting and waiting hoping that Adobe will finally get around to including all of the typekit fonts within Muse. For example I've been after the Prenton font, but notice that it's still not available from within Muse, and the same applies for many of the really good fonts.
Why are they not available?
Thanks

Hi,
I am sorry we don't have the same seamless integration with the full Typekit library as we do with Edge Web Fonts. There are two main reasons for that:
1. Muse is a desktop application, and any use of a font in Muse Design mode is considered "desktop use". Most fonts in the Typekit library are licensed for "web use" only.
2. Edge Web Fonts are mostly open-source and can be used by anyone, on any domain, for unlimited page views. On the other hand, web fonts in the Typekit library need to be configured for specific domains and may be subject to page view limits. This configuration — in the form of Typekit "kits" — is done manually. We don't have the necessary means to create kits automatically (something that's needed for a fully seamless workflow).
Looking through your other posts on various forums, I can see that you already have experience creating kits. Have you tried this workflow for Muse: http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html? If you haven't, please give it a try. If/when you have tried it, please let me know what you find most and least inconvenient about that worflow:
Creating a kit at typekit.com
Including embed code in Muse
Inability to work with the actual font during Design
Inability to see the actual font during Preview
Other (please specify)
Could you also let me know (in private, if you prefer) if you already own Prenton as a desktop/print font?
Thanks,
Abhishek

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

Hi drewacg,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Are you the administrative contact on your Creative Cloud team subscription? The admin user doesn't receive the same set of services as a full seat, so you will have a Typekit Trial plan instead of the Portfolio plan.
You have the option of upgrading to the Portfolio level, though. If you would like to do that:
1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio
Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
I hope that this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to send your Adobe ID information to [email protected] and we can look into it further for you. Best,
-- liz
