Adobe Fonts font not showing up in After Effects

I’m trying to use the Config Variable font from Adobe Fonts in After Effects, but it doesn’t appear in the font list. It works fine in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm using a macbook pro. 

 

I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps with no success:

•Restarted AE and Creative Cloud

•Checked Creative Cloud font sync

•Cleared AE font cache (AdobeFnt.lst)

•Installed the font locally (both OTF and TTF from a third-party source)

•Tested on an older AE version

 

Still, the font refuses to show up in After Effects. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reporting it. I see the same issue at my end. I've filed a report so that it can be investigated.
