Using TypeKit

Why I can' t use the downloaded fonts in (for example) in Microsoft Word? Or I can?

Hello David,
Adobe says there is a difference between "Typekit desktop Fonts" and "Typekit web Fonts". Please inform you here:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590>>> Typekit font licensing >>> ... There are two ways to use Typekit. Typekit desktop fonts work in applications like Photoshop and Microsoft Word, while Typekit web fonts allow you to use fonts on the web to style HTML text. Each has their own license, which you can read here: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/tou_typekit/ (Typekit Services Agreement.)
On the other hande you could use https://typekit.com/help  or [email protected]

  • 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:

    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions.  Best,

  • 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]

  • 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,

  • Use.typekit makes forum difficult to reach

    When trying to enter this forum the browser hangs endlessly on "Waiting for use.typekit.com..."
    It happens on the Photoshop forum too.
    Has anyone else had this problem recently?

    Plus one. The only reason was able to get here on Friday is someone posted the registration URL in the regular OTN DB General forum. Although it may well have been FUE on my part.
    I don't know how it works for Linux but I think with windows the Forum Registration menu link was populated the first time we run the MSI. But if we do (as some of us have done) a partial disinstall then we have zapped that link gets and it doesn't get re-created if the C:\oracleXE directory still exists. I think. Anyway, I'm sure I could probably have registered here anyway on Friday even though my install had failed, if only I had known. In short, a documentation bug rather than a flaw in the process.
    Cheers, APC

  • 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!)

  • How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse?

    How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse - is it an update to load, a stand alone, how does it interface with Muse? I've updated to CC but have no info on this.

    Hello,
    Is there a reason why you want to use Edge Web Fonts with Adobe Muse?
    Assuming you wish to improve typography of your web pages, you should know that Muse is fully integrated with Typekit. This allows you to access and apply over 500 web fonts from within Muse. Here's how you do it:
    Select a text component within Muse, and click the Text drop-down.
    Select Add Web Fonts option, to pop-open the Add Web Fonts dialog.
    Browse and apply fonts per your design needs.
    Muse also allows you to create paragraph styles that you can save and apply to chunks of text, a la InDesign. Watch this video for more information: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/using-typekit-with-adobe-muse/

  • How do you use edge web font in Edge Reflow?

    By default, I don't have a lot of fonts. It's just viewing a few of them.
    How can you get the web font for Edge Reflow? Can you use font from fontbook?
    Is there a way to download Edge Web Font?

    Above: using Brandon Grotesque (web use font) does not display the correct font.
    I'm using Typekit and have an internet connection. If I switch to a "desktop use" font, it shows up, so I'm guessing the "web use" only fonts won't show in Reflow. A little frustrating when you're trying to get an accurate preview/determine best font styling because of the back-and-forth workflow.
    Above: using Source Sans Pro (desktop use font) does display the correct font.
