Besides, I'm confused by this setting "Auto-activate Adobe Fonts".
Hi @Doc Maik, If you are sure you don’t want to use the Adobe Type library that comes with your subscription, you can disable it from your Creative Cloud app—Preferences>Services>Adobe Fonts.
The (free) Google font version of Roboto conflicts with the version in the Adobe Type library, so if the document was created using the Adobe Type version, and you have Adobe Fonts activated along with Auto-activate, InDesign is going to try to activate the cloud version and ignore the TT version installed in your fonts folder. Disabling Adobe Fonts from the CC app and opening the document should show Roboto as missing, and then you can replace it with your installed Google Fonts TT version.
Why would we need Adobe Fonts at all and why auto-activate?
Because the library is large, the fonts are high quality, and the service comes with your subscription.
You don’t install Adobe Fonts in one of the OS font folders—you have to go to AdobeType, browse for the fonts you want to use, and click Add Font to activate. You can turn fonts on and off as needed form the site, so if you open a document that uses a deactivated cloud font, the Auto-activate preference lets you skip the manual activation steps.
