Web font selection issue in Muse?

Web font issue in Muse, when I load web fonts which have various weights i.e. regular and bold I an unable to select this font in any weight at all. Is anybody else experiencing this issue and has anybody got a solution?

Hi Zak
Just a quick follow-up after checking this issue at home. I opened Muse and loaded several web fonts, some of which had various weights available. I was able to select these fonts and change the weights fine. However I left Muse open and returned several hours later and found that I was unable to select any of these fonts.
So you workaround (turning Muse off and on again) certainly works but the bug is still there. FYI I am using the latest version of Muse on an iMac using Yosemite OSX. One thought, I have a screensaver set up on my home iMac, could this possibly cause this problem?
I will continue to monitor Muse on my iMac at work running on OSX Maverick to see if I get the same problem. I don’t have a screen saver set-up on this iMac as it’s never left long enough for it to start up.
This then may help determine if this is either an OSX Yosemite issue or a screen saver issue.
Kind Regards
Jeremy

Web font not displaying in Muse

Hi! Seemingly out of nowhere, Source Sans Pro will not display in design mode in Muse 2014. To see the font correctly, I need to preview in browser. I also can't see the formatting (bold, etc.), though it's there. Any help appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't have that folder, nor the one listed here for 2014: Re: Source Sans Pro not displaying in 'Design' mode

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

All self-hosted web fonts are deleted after update to latest Muse version (2014.3)

All the self-hosted web fonts are deleted after updating Muse.
It is necessary to import the self-hosted fonts again and then redefine every paragraph style to make it work again.
This is an extra hour of work for every site using self-hosted fonts.
Please make sure to improve this on the next update-release of Adobe Muse.
Thanks

Hi Abhishek,
the site is directly uploaded using MUSE Upload to ftp host. When I open it with ftp client, there is off file of etelkawidemedium in fonts file.
And I have tried to upload plain webpage with the same web font - not made in Muse and it works.

So what should I do?
The answer from Shaun is little bit complicated for me:)

System fonts Image graphics / Web Fonts

is it really necessary to transform every system font used in any Adobe Muse project into an image graphic? I also use Adobe Muse to make keynote or powerpoint similar presentations in HTML/CSS. Which has from my point of view many advantages to offer by placing the files on a company's web server. Thus, I don't see a reason why Web Safe Fonts are not transformed into image graphics while other System Fonts will be changed into image graphics.
Adding new Web Fonts directly in Adobe Muse is much easier and less complicated than creating kits on the typekit website and then adding the code snippets to every web page which uses the desired web font. A bit too complicated for my taste.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the prompt response. We are wondering if you could try a few other things that will help isolate the issue. Our theory is the issue might be related to OS user permissions.
Run Adobe Muse CC as an Administrator
Locate the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" shortcut icon in Windows Explorer
Right-click the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" icon and then click "Run as administrator"
When the "User Account Control" is displayed, do one of the following:
If you are logged on as a standard user, or if the user account control is configured to always require credentials, enter the appropriate administrative credentials, and then click "OK"
If you are logged on as an administrator and user account control is not configured to always require credentials, click "Yes" to start the application
After Muse finishes launching, create a new site and inspect the font drop-down
Verify "Local Store" folder permissions
Open a Windows Explorer dialog
In the address field enter "%appdata% and open the folder named "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3".The folder path should be similar to the following with <username> being the current OS user's nameC:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3
Right-click on the folder "Local Store" and select "Properties"
In the "Local Store Properties" tab, select "Security"
Select the current user name from the "Group or user names" list
Observe the section "Permissions for ...." in the "Local Store Properties" dialog. Does the user have full permissions (full control, modify, read & execute, list folder contents, read, write)?
Do you know if the Windows OS user account you are using is an administrator or standard user on your machine? You can find out by navigating to the following in Windows Explorer and selecting "Manage User Accounts":
Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts
Please let me know if you need any clarification on what we are asking for.
Thank you for your time in advance.
Regards,
Marc

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.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us directly here: [email protected]

Can Edge Web Fonts be used for Photoshop website mockups?

I'm keen to know if Edge Web Fonts can be used within Photoshop as an extension (to make the website mockup process smoother). I know Edge Web Fonts plays well with Muse and other Edge Tools, but I don't want to use Muse to build my sites - I just want to do my mockups in Photoshop. Can Edge Web Fonts work from within Photoshop, or will I be forced to switch to something like Extensis Suitcase Fusion for font management within Photoshop? Thanks in advance for your help!

Problem solved - I've found everything I was looking for (and more) in Edge Reflow.

Self-Hosted Web Fonts

I have problem with self hosted fonts I have added to MUSE.
It works normally in Muse while working, also in preview after export to html but doesn't work online after upload ( I have tried it on different servers).
I tried same web font on easy webpage not using muse and it works properly. What can I do?
Preview after export to HTML:
After upload to FTP in Safari / Google Chrome is the same
Fonts are in the fonts folder after export and also in css. I can see it as self-hosted web fonts, Matching System Font is also OK.
The example of not working page:
menuEN - all green headlines.
I am working on Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite, browsers Safari and Google Chrome both. Font is Etelka - if it is important.
Thank you very much for your help,
Elena

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/
Also take a look at these help files to see if they help you:

Using a web font (Coda), but Muse insists on rasterizing

I'm using a web font on my site (http://unit304musicvideoproduction.com/), so it should just show the web font. However, Muse insists on rasterizing it. I haven't done anything funky to it, and it even does it when I select Arial as the font, so I don't understand why it's doing this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
When you select the text frame (not the text within), does the font menu show Coda or it is blank? Blank indicates "mixed fonts", which could mean you have a lingering system font somewhere within the text frame. Please repeat this test for all states (default, rollover, mousedown, active). A system font in any state will force other states to be rasterized as well.
If you've rules out the possibility of system fonts, please send your Muse file to [email protected] Please include a link to this post.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Muse recently updated with Yosemite Update web fonts not working

I recently updated my OS to Yosemite at work, but not at home. a site that was using font awesome that was working/previewing/exporting/uploaded and functioning fine is now not showing font awesome icons. I didn't upload to the server because even though it previews in Muse fine, they are not shown on export. Even the template files that are the original HTML files (included with the muse template) are not showing the web fonts. I thought it was the operating system but when drop boxed to my computer at home and checked there (Mountain lion OS) It still doesn't show.
I'm not understanding where the issue is. Any thoughts?
Work version is 2014.2, unclear about home version- could possibly not be that update, I think I installed in November. I didn't have any problems with this file since updating to Yosemite at work. Although never went through a final HTML export so I suppose it could have been doing it for the last few weeks I have been working on this site.
Thanks!

From the screen shot, I expect you're on Windows and have ClearType turned on (on is the default OS setting). The top text is drawn using Adobe's technology. The bottom would be drawn with ClearType. Microsoft's ClearType technology is one of several font anti-aliasing techniques. ClearType's approach is strongly biased toward making vertical stems appear smooth and of consistent width at the expensive of having horizontal portions of text appear less smooth. If you turn off ClearType on your computer the text will be rendered differently.
Each operating system has it's own approach to drawing text, and in fact both Windows and Mac have multiple approaches. Windows adds numerous end user controls on top of that. And each browser has the freedom to implement different rendering as well. There's nothing under the control of a website authoring tool that can cause live text to have an identical rendering when rendered by different browsers or operating systems.
This is one of the limitations of the web medium.
Cross browser compatibility generally refers to the large category of issues where a browser, or browser version, entirely lacks support for various features of HTML/CSS, implements those features differently from other browsers, or has bugs such that various features either don't function correctly or don't function consistently. Muse contains hundreds of pieces of code to compensate for these idiosyncracies between browsers.

Can't use Web Fonts in Photoshop, but can in Muse

Hi, I'm trying to use the same font I use in Adobe Muse on an image I'm creating in Photoshop CS6. In Adobe Muse, it was easy to add fonts by simply clicking "Add Web Font" and it opened a browser for me to select from many web safe fonts. Love this feature, by the way. In Photoshop, however, I do not have the same fonts listed and can find no place to get the fonts. I've tried downloading the fonts and putting them in my font folders but they do not show up on my list and they are web safe fonts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The font is question is Delius.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, billlywjr73,
Right now you can't use Typekit web fonts in Photoshop.
From the Typekit help, "Typekit only permits web-use for the fonts in our library, so we can’t provide you with a version of the fonts you use via Typekit to download and install. However, each font detail page includes a link to where you can buy an installable version of the font from the font’s designer/owner."
On the Photoshop community forum, Jeff Tranberry says it's something on their radar but no ETA yet.

Muse/Typekit web font list/preview?

Is there a specific foundry within Typekit that Muse uses to populate its list of available web fonts in the "Add Web Fonts..." menu? When I browse Typekit's site to find fonts for use in Muse the majority aren't available from within Muse. Likewise, some of the fonts available in the Muse menu are no where to be found on the Typekit site, Aguafina Script for example.
There's actually an Adobe foundry within Typekit, which contains LOTS of fonts unavailable in Muse. What kind of sense does that make?
It's difficult to use them in conjunction to facilitate type design. If I browse Typekit chances are the font isn't available in Muse anyways. If I browse Muse I frequently can't find the font on the Typekit site so I can preview at different sizes/weights to make a good decision regarding appearance and legibility for my viewers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
~Bob
BTW, why the heck don't all the browsers use Muse's Design Mode type rendering engine? Typekit fonts are stunning when viewed in Muse's Design Mode but look like terrible every where else... even in Muse's own Preview Mode. The only exception I can find is on an iPhone which alse renders type beautifully.
~B

actually was trying to make typekit fonts to work with muse, but the edgwebfont-tutorial... don't work for me...
now i found a way. using the same tutorial and screenshots from above How to add Typekit fonts to your Muse site
STEP 1:
you need to have an active domain, so you can upload yr files on the web via FTP. you are going to see yr fonts online only.
first you need to setup yr typekit-kit with yr domain.
now select your fonts and weights you want on yr webpage
STEP 2: Give the Typekit fonts selector names
you need to put the selectors on the top left corner of the screen, BUT
INSTEAD of the ".header" or ".body" selectors, you can use the normal HTML selectors, like h1, h2, p and so on. if you want, you can set more than one selector to yr font, so if for example you want to use the same font for h1 and p, you can put both selectors there. if you have italics and bold selected it going to work automatically on muse when you use the bold and italic buttons. preety cool!
publish
Step 3: Give your Muse text frames paragraph styles with the same names
AT FIRST: you might do this setup on yr masterpage, so yr fonts are automatically loaded on yr sites.
make paragraph-styles with your HTML selectors (h1, h2, p and so on), then format yr text with them on the pages.
Step 4: Add the Typekit Javascript
DO NOT paste the java script on yr site! this code must be in "HEAD" of the website. so you need to go to menu:
> page > page properties
then, paste the typekit javascript in yr "metadata".
that's it.
hope it helps, and sorry my english

Hello. I am trying to self host Italia fonts (Book, Bold and Medium) on Adobe Muse. I purchased web fonts from Linotype that are "obfuscated" - which means the name is hidden. Apparently I also need to install system fonts. Can I install with code in muse

Hello! I am trying to self host Italia fonts in muse. I purchased from Linotype the web fonts. But they sent obfuscated fonts and code. I need to also install as system fonts and those do not work for that. We already have different Italia fonts that we owned prior but they are not obfuscated... Is this a problem? Is there an easier way I can do this? TIA!

Muse crashes when i change to web fonts

I get muse will shut down Assert" registering instance already in instance cache" I get it when I change into webfonts

I have checked this on my end, and it doesn't crash when I switch to Web fonts. So, it most possibly isn't an issue with Muse itself. Please create a new Muse file and try the same on that, and see if the error still persists (It should work fine). If it does, please send your .muse file to [email protected] and include a link to this forum thread for reference. If your file is larger than 20MB, you can use a service like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile.
Thanks.
