Can you turn an Adobe font into a TTF File?

I'm trying to work in another app (namely RPG Maker.) To use fonts in there, you need to have them as TTF or OTF Files. Is there any way to download Adobe fonts into these file formats?

Adobe discontinued support of the Postscript Type 1 format in its Creative Cloud applications. I think it's pretty safe to assume the data in fonts synced via the Adobe Fonts service is either TrueType or OpenType. Some fonts are available in OpenType Variable and OpenType SVG format.

Does your RPG Maker app see TTF and OTF fonts installed in the computer system? If so then it should be possible for the app to "see" fonts and type families from Adobe Fonts. But in order for all apps on the computer to see fonts added from the Adobe Fonts web site they must be installed by using the Creative Cloud Desktop App.

It doesn't see all fonts. It only sees fonts that are downloaded specifically into its folder in either a TTF or an OTF file format. If a font file isn't specifically in its folder, it won't show up.

This Youtube video is showing what I'm trying to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DMy8a1VXbE

If you're having to copy font files into game project folders then any fonts added/installed via Adobe Fonts won't work. The synced font data from Adobe Fonts isn't readily visible as font files in applications like Windows File Explorer.
