List of all Adobe Fonts typefaces?

A little late at this point, but for anybody interested, here is a list of all the fonts Adobe offers:

https://0bin.net/paste/KDp7t+hc#m8yYCyQwKqeYXF0ArZlwNEW1JbKzEHrp58gwfEPCvGT

the list includes the font names, foundry names, fonts in the family, and a link to the font family page.

there are 4,371 fonts on their site, as of right now...though the website actually says there are 4,382. but when i sifted through the list (which took forever), some pages had 12 fonts, and some had 13 somehow. so unless Adobe was hiding them, this should be a complete list.

Hi Adam,

activating fonts vs installing font files is quiet a different discussion, I think.

Search the forums for inspiration.

Back to your initial question about a glyph table of a given font and how one could make an informed decision before activating or downloading a font style.

Last year we had this wonderful discussion where I posted about the difficulties to detect a range of glyphs for a given font style before one downloads it from Google Fonts:

Also see into Bevi's reply in the same discussion:

Also look into this article:

Make a Font “Contact Sheet” in InDesign

Log in to see the very important comments there!

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY SIDE:
Be careful what you do with that Contact Sheet. It's save to get the Glyph IDs by selecting the individual results to look up a Glyph ID in the Glyphs panel. It's also useful to get a visual overview of all available glyphs in a particular font!

But do not copy over glyphs from that Contact Sheet to your regular documents that you like to publish.

Well, try it. Then change the font to a different one, but the glyphs will not be the same, because Glyph IDs do not follow the Unicode scheme of characters.

Hi Adam,

if the scripting DOM of Adobe InDesign would allow for activating Adobe Fonts one could build lists automatically.

But unfortunately this is not the case.

If a font is already activated from Adobe Fonts this would be not that issue*. Still for about 20,000 font styles in Adobe Fonts there should be a different way; a feature on the Adobe Fonts site that allows you to export and save a list of available glyphs with a naming scheme and a Unicode table and also other information to a PDF file.

* Without going into detail here, it still can be an issue to utilize such a document other than to look up unicode and glyph names. For example it would be no good idea to copy/paste glyphs from that list. That has specific technical reasons that come along with the Tagged Text feature of InDesign.

Adam Peac*ck, just wanted to let you know about this posting in Adobe Voice:

https://adobefonts.uservoice.com/forums/940222-adobe-fonts-feature-requests-and-feedback/suggestions/45040108-list-of-adobe-subcription-fonts-for-type-1-substit 

I also just tried to get from Adobe a list of fonts included if you purchased Font Folio. But I couldn't get a list, despite talking to and chatting with multiple Adobe "reps". They passed me around for over an hour but nobody took responsibility for Font Folio. Apparently they want you to spend thousand$ without really knowing what you're getting. My request for that in Adobe Voice is here:

https://adobefonts.uservoice.com/forums/940222-adobe-fonts-feature-requests-and-feedback/suggestions/45059353-list-of-font-folio-fonts 

Echoing the need for a list. Our team maintains literally thousands of documents (packaging and marketing pieces) for hundreds of customers, and many of them still use Type1 fonts from libraries we purchased decades ago. Some customers can be very picky and demanding about approving any changes at all, so font substitution is going to be a nightmare.

Multiple team members making substitutions = inconsistency, UNLESS we can create a cross reference of our chosen Type 1 > Open Type substitutions, including what tweaks each person should make to accommodate ensuing changes to line wrap, leading, styles, etc. We can't have one person changing tracking to accommodate a new font, while another sizes the font down. Or chooses a different font...

Surfing online through our subscription fonts to activate and test--and make further purchases depending on whether the choices within our subscription are acceptable--is going to be a full-time job for these thousands of documents.

Adobe is creating a mess without adequate tools for users. We aren't all just concerned with picking pretty fonts from cutesy little packages...

Hi,

I don't suppose there has been any update on this, as I would also like to have a list of all the font families available through Adobe Fonts.

Cheers

I don't think there is a way to answer it without, as you put it, browsing through the whole website. There are 1,993 font families currently available from Adobe Fonts, many of them provided through partnerships with outside font foundries. As far as I know, there is not comprehensive list, at least not one available on the Adobe Fonts website. @Dov Isaacs might know differently, though.

You could concentrate on just the fonts provided by Adobe, since those are the only ones guaranteed to be available through a subscription to Adobe Fonts or to Adobe products that include access to Adobe Fonts. That reduces the number of pages to 9 from 167.

[Outside font foundaries can, and have, cancelled their partnerships with Adobe and withdrawn their fonts from Adobe Fonts, making the font unavailable to people who have been using it without their buying a license from the owning foundary.]
