Question

Brown Pro that is not Brown Pro - font issue

Have never encountered an issue like this before so It's been a bit maddening so deal with.

I have customer supplied files that were created in Europe and when I view the properties in Acrobat, it says that the font is Brown Pro. Needing to create matching business cards using the same font, I activated Brown Pro from Adobe Fonts. BUT - they don't match. Not sure how that is possible (there are certain things that I personally believe should be universal - fonts being one of them - most of them anyways!  Aside from those not specifically english)

 

But maybe I'm wrong? Can there be 2 fonts out there in the Adobe cloud universe that share a name but not a face?

 

Attached is a small sample of the text that claims to be Brown Pro. If anyone knows what this font actually is, I would be so grateful! If it turns out that this really is Brown Pro - how can I get that font? The Brown Pro available through Adobe fonts (and anywhere else I look) is NOT the font in the sample, but Acrobat says it is. Help!

 

Thank you!

    Occasionally different typefaces do have the same names. The Brown Pro family carried at Adobe Fonts is from Shinntype. Commercial fonts web sites such as MyFonts carry it. The version of "Brown" used in the document is indeed Brown by Lineto:
