Hi everyone, I'm using Ventura 13.1 and some fonts I installed in Adobe fonts (they're "activated" and show up in other programmes e.g. InDesign) are not shown in Keynote. Ideas anyone? Thanks!

    I am having the same issues, the only fonts that don't appear in Keynote are the ones from adobe 


    Have you installed the fonts for all apps to use? When adding fonts at the Adobe Fonts website the fonts are merely added for Adobe applications. That is the new default behavior. In order to make the fonts visible to all applications on a computer the fonts have to be installed by using the Creative Cloud desktop app.

    I'm having this problem currently. Font shows active in Creative Cloud Desktop app, with a green dot and says "in Adobe and other local apps". The font is not loading in Keynote.

    Hi @smashkirk,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about this.  Are you able to use Adobe fonts on other devices? Have you tried signing out and signing in again to check if that helps?

     

    Regards,

    There is another thread about this from last year. I'm having this problem currently. Font shows active in Creative Cloud Desktop app, with a green dot and says "in Adobe and other local apps". The font is not loading in Keynote. Very frustrating.

    In Keynote, go to Format > Font > Show Fonts, or 'Command-T'. Then select 'All Fonts' in the left sidebar. You will probably find the missing fonts there.

    I'm also having the same issue and I think I installed them correctly becasue they say they're installed "In Adobe apps and other local apps" but still can't see them in Keynote.
