Adobe Font showing in Illustrator but not After Effects

I've installed Mixta Sharp Bold

It shows up in Illustrator

 

But it breaks in After Effects

 

I've rebooted and restarted and cleared cache and reinstalled the font to no avail.

I uninstalled it from Adobe Cloud and reinstalled it then get this error

It is a major issue

 

Update: What is bigger than major? Gigantic? It is a gigantic issue now, as I cannot save because the popup is infinite, close and it pops up again immediately.

Try signing out of your Creative Cloud account, rebooting the computer and then signing back into the creative cloud account. If that step doesn't work it might be necessary to delete the font data cache to force the computer to re-build it.

It's possible for other applications running in the background to cause problems with fonts.
