Typekit fonts in Muse preview

Hi Does anyone know how to see typekit fonts in Muse Preview Mode? It would be really useful.
I've looked around on the web and there doesn't seem to be any solution currently.
It's a pain to keep publishing everytime I adjust a type size or leading.
Plus, after a while the published site looks 'broken' after several 'publishes' and I have to wait until the next day for the published browser version to update – I've tried emptying the browser cache etc and that doesn't work. So sad.
Muse is a great product. I would like to use it more, but I'm cautious about using any Typekit fonts until they are more 'seamless' with Muse.

Hi,
I am assuming you are using the Muse Insider workflow (http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html).
The following steps may help with local preview (File > Preview Site in Browser), though not in Preview mode
1. Add 127.0.0.1 to the comma-separated list of domains your Typekit kit is configured with. Publish your kit.
2. When you preview the site in the browser, the URL may read something like http://158.39.223.181:33333/Preview/website-1/index.html. Replace the number before the colon with 127.0.0.1 (http://127.0.0.1:33333/Preview/website-1/index.html).
Please let me know if that works.

Typekit fonts in Muse

Hi All,
I am specifically looking to use Brroadway font for a project and I signed up for Typekit and pasted the code
into my page properties HTML for head. How do I get the font to show up in the font selections? This is not one of the
Muse "free" fonts. Is this possible to do. I just need mostly for headline purposes. Any suggestions please Thanks for your help!

Hi redjackrabbit,
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

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!

Now I understand how to add Typekit web fonts to Muse, but I'm not able to browse the full library of Typekit. I currently have a "Portfolio Plan" of Typekit which provides huge selections of font choices, but I see a lot less fonts in Muse_Typekit library.
Would you let me know how do I browse the full Typekit library in Muse please?
Thank you.

How to add typekit fonts to muse.

Hello I am currently trying to add font from typekit to my muse site. I am using a font that is not included in muse but from the typekit website. I changed my paragraph style name, and also the selector in type kit, published my kit, and I inserted the code on the top of my website. Could someone please help? Im uploading the site to business catalyst but Its not changing the font.

Hi,
To add the typekit fonts that are not listed in Muse, you must follow the standard code embedding procedure suggested by typekit here, http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6780-adding-fonts-to-your-site
I see that you have inserted the typekit JS as HTML on the page. You should consider adding the same to the head section of the page. For that go to the Page Properties -> Metadata -> HTML for <head>, and add it there.
As far as the adding the edge is concerned I see that there is an Iframe on the page trying to load the banner.html which is not there on the root.
I'm assuming that's the Edge project you are referring to. Try to upload the banner.html on the root level on the server and let me know how that goes.

Abhishek Maurya

Typekit fonts from Muse

Hello everyone. I am not sure if this question should go here or over at Muse. If I use typekit fonts on my pages from adobe muse. Will I be able to use the fonts in the modules on BC? Since the code will already be on my template pages, will I be able to just change the font to the typekit font and get it to generate? Thanks

Once you reference a font through typekit and they render and then in your CSS you decare an element to render that font - yes they will use that font.

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,

Typekit fonts not loading in Muse

Hi, I purchased a Creative Cloud Annual Plan and I can't use the Add Web Fonts dialog box within Muse. I run it on a Win XP pro 64bit SP2, Muse working properly if not for that function.. Dialog box appear but no command is clickable and error is prompted reading "Could not load web font previews. Check your network connection and try again". Same connection, same sw, on a different pc (win xp sp3) works fine. I searching Adobe kb, faqs and other unsuccesfully finding any hint. Could you please let me know how to fix it?

Hi,
Currently, you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse. In the future there will be kit integration, so that you have access to all the fonts in your Typekit plan.
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, if you are comfortable editing HTML, you can add the embed code to the <head> tag in your site manually. You can find the embed code by logging into https://typekit.com, launching your Kit Editor, and clicking the "embed code" link at the top right.

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 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

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

Activating bought web fonts in muse

I bought fonts for web use and activated them in my typekit account as well. they are now everywhere available expect of muse … cannot active them.
any ideas, anyone?
thank you.

I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!

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
