I sometimes switch my adobe account back and forth between a Windows and a Mac, and I've noticed that some fonts are not available on my mac. This is particularly true with the font 'MV Boli'. When I use photoshop or any other adobe app on my windows computer, it is there. When I switch to my Mac, not only is it not there, but when i search the creative cloud for it is says it isn't available. Is there a difference in font availability between windows and mac?

Adobe Fonts does not cover the differences of system fonts that are resident in Microsoft Windows or the Mac OS. There are major differences in fonts bundled into either of those operating systems. The MV Boli typeface is a MS Windows system font. Adobe has nothing to do with its distribution.

MV Boli is a TrueType font and it may be possible to install a copy of it on a Mac, but probably not legal to do so from a rights basis.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
