Can I Use Adobe Fonts Outside of Creative Cloud?

I have been using Creative Cloud for the past 90 days on my Mac and recently activated the Kewl script font. Although it's available for my use within all the Creative Cloud apps, the Kewl font is not installed on my Mac for use in MS Office or other apps. I restarted my computer thinking that was a required step but to no avail. Can I Use Adobe Fonts Outside of Creative Cloud? If so, how do I install one of these fonts on my Mac? I can't find any information on this topic so that is why I have turned to the support community for assistance.

 

Thanks,

PaulJoe

    You are NOT going to do this.

    1. It was always forbidden to send fonts to a printing company, unless they already had a license for the fonts.

    2. And it's now impossible, because people ignored the rules.

    Unfortunately, printing companies continue to make illegal requests!!!

    You can tell them - "I used only Adobe fonts" (if this is true - make sure they were Adobe fonts, not just ones you found on your computer) - and say "I understand these fonts are available to you using your own Creative Cloud subscription.

    If this is still a problem - look at the format you are sending to them. There may be a choice. In general PDF does not need anyone to send anyone any fonts.

    You can, and you are allowed to use the font in non Adobe software. If it is not visible in the application, it is either not activated or there is a different problem.

      Hi,

       

      You know that I have tried in Office and with at least 10 synchronized sources from Adobe CC, I have managed to work in Word, it will be a particular problem from that source, or maybe something that prevents synchronization.

       

      I'm going to keep trying.
