Using Typekit fonts offline?

New here. I spend a great deal of time working offline in InDesign, as well as Illustrator and Photoshop. However, when offline, Typekit fonts that I have synced do not appear in the font lists of those programs and must be replaced in the documents that I am working in order to proceed. It's very frustrating. Does anyone know if it is possible to get around this? If not, I will have to stop using Typekit fonts.

Hi Jim,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Typekit fonts should work offline. You just need to make sure you're signed into the Creative Cloud app and your fonts are synced before you go offline.
When you sign out of the CC app, the fonts are unsynced so you just need to sign in and sync before going offline.
I hope this solves the issue. If not, feel free to drop us a line at: [email protected]
Cheers,
Benjamin

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.

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:

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!)

Can I use Typekit fonts in Adobe Acrobat document?

Need to restart creative cloud to use typekit fonts

When I add fonts with Typekit, they are not visible in CC and Indesign. When I restart CC they are and everything is ok, but is there a way to solve this 'problem'? Thanks

Nobody can know anything without proper system information and other details like Internet connection and sync settings.

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 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,

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.

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.

Can I use Type -- 'convert to outline' in Illustrator on Typekit fonts I've 'designated for desktop use'? I've not been able to as of yet.

I'm trying to print vinyl letters for a gallery I'm a member of and love the Cronos Pro regular font. i've designated this for desktop use and created 24 name files at 200pt. The person working with the vinyl asked if I could 'convert to outline' possibly to make the font a bit larger, I don't really know. When I tried to do this, I found that choice grayed out on the type menu. I am wondering if this means the Typekit fonts 'designated for desktop use' simply do not have the permission to be 'converted to outline'.

Cutting always requires proper paths/ outlines. This has nothing to do with the font or large format printing per se. Beyond that there should be no limitation in using fonts - as long as you can mangle them in AI, it means that somewhere those outlines exist internal to the program so the type can actually be rendered. Whatever prevents this may more likely be inherent in how you treat your text. you would have to provide more specific info on that. Either way, ask in the AI forum for more detailed answers.

What does "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml" mean?

Why is Muse now asking, on either uploading files via Muse or externally through another ftp, for a domain name that is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml?
I used Muse for exporting my files to ftp externally a few months back and I could add whatever I liked into the domain name field (which made sense as I could choose an appropriate name). I upgraded Muse this morning and now no domain name I add in here is accepted and on hovering over the info icon I get a "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml. What does that mean exactly?
If anyone can help?

Hi Guys
Great thread Omniscient! Like Bian, my username is just my name. It's a unisex name and caused a nice little debate in the early days of this forum as to whether I was male or female!
Kerry is from the Irish meaning 'dark-haired' but I am a blondie (natural blonde when younger, bottle blonde now I am older!) I think my mum just liked the name...
There are lots of interesting usernames out there - tell us about them and where they come from!

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,

What happens if I use a Typekit font for a site and later stop using Creative Cloud

A client has asked me if I use a Typekit font on her site, what happens if I stop using Creative Cloud. Will the fonts still work on her site?
thanks,
Gerry

Check the Typekit TOS agreement.
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/tou_typekit/
If you terminate your Cloud subscription, I'm pretty sure you'll need to subscribe separately to Typekit. The individual plan is free but you must join to use it.
As an alternative to TypeKit, look at Adobe's Free Edge Web Fonts.

Why are the TypeKit fonts I am syncing not showing up for use in Illustrator?

Hi there,
I am beyond frustrated right now. But that's neither here nor there for anyone reading this so I will get to the point.
I have synced the TypeKit font, Tablet Gothic Wide to my Mac, but it simply won't show up as a font choice in Illustrator. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. I've confirmed that the font selections are added to your account correctly.
In case you weren't aware, the Creative Cloud application needs to be running on your computer in order for the fonts to be synced. If you don't have that installed, you can download it for free from https://creative.adobe.com/products
Once you have Creative Cloud running:
- Are the fonts showing up in the Fonts tab of Creative Cloud?
- If you haven't done so already, would you please try turning off font sync in the Creative Cloud application, wait a moment, and then turn it back on? The option to do this is under the gear icon in Preferences > Fonts ("sync on/off"). Sometimes the app just needs a fresh session for the fonts to appear again.
If that doesn't make a difference, please send your recent sync log files to Typekit Support at [email protected] so that we can look into it further.
Thank you,
-- liz
