Question

Add Fonts to Creative Cloud

Dear All,

Perhaps someone can help me: I need to edit a simple page made in illustrator with a font that is not supported by default (Subfamily of Gill Sans). With the old desktop version of Adobe illustrator I could just copy the  *.ttf files in my Windows Font folder, but with the cloud version you need to use: https://helpx.adobe.com/mena_ar/creative-cloud/help/add-your-fonts-to-creative-cloud.html.

 I can upload them, but Unfortunately it seems they are not actived and Adobe support is unable to help me. Is there perhaps a work around? Regards J.

I am puzzled by your question. The product is called Creative Cloud but it isn't on the cloud; it's still a desktop app, like it always was, so you install fonts just as you always did, on your desktop. All your local fonts (except type 1 fonts) should be available to Adobe apps.

      Thanks for the reply, but that unfortunately won't help me in Adobe Illustrator (Using Creative Cloud)

      [Moderator moved from Creative Cloud to Adobe Fonts.]

       

      1. Go to Adobe Fonts online.  Log-in and search for suitable fonts. 

      https://fonts.adobe.com/

       

      2. Go to My Fonts panel to manage and activate your fonts. 

      https://fonts.adobe.com/my_fonts

      Activated fonts should automatically sync to your Creative Cloud desktop app.

      If after a few minutes you don't see fonts:

      1. Open CC Desktop App.
      2. Click your Avatar (top right image) > Preferences > General tab > Settings. Select "Always keep Creative Cloud up to date."  Also ensure that Adobe Fonts service is enabled.
      3. Click on your Avatar again.
      4. Sign-out of Creative Cloud.
      5. Close all apps.
      6. Restart your computer.
      7. Open CC Desktop app.
      8. Click your Avatar.
      9. Sign-in with your paid CC ID and password.

       

      Hope that helps.  Post back if you have more questions.
