Illustrator no longer updating when new fonts added, without restarting.

So Adobe brought out an Illustrator update, but didn't fix this... sad

Adobe Fonts update instantly but when I "install a font" Illustrator does not recognize it. I could have sworn it did that in the past.

also having the same issue! 😞

I am! Noticed it the other day.

Hello @Delresto are you facing this issue as well?

I still think that adobe shouldn't remove a feature so useful

Currently on 30.0.48

So I did some quick testing, as requested. My testing results:

- OTF installed via Windows Font Viewer - doesn't work
- OTF copied manually to windows/fonts folder - doesn't work
- OTF to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator (Beta)\Support Files\Required\Fonts - works!

- TTF installed via Windows Font Viewer - doesn't work
- TTF copied manually to windows/fonts folder - doesn't work
- TTF to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator (Beta)\Support Files\Required\Fonts - works!

So it seems that copying to the dedicated Illustrator fonts folder, it works. But copying/installing to the system fonts folder doesn't work.

I don't use the dedicated folder as a rule because I want the fonts accessible to the other adobe products. So I hadn't thought to check that before. But it seems that it works for the dedicated folder, just not the system folder.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Rhoobarb2005 ,Could you please specify the source from which you’re installing the fonts?

As of September 16 this is still not working
