Question

Nimbus Sans Condensed Bold not available

I created a few brochures for print last year and the headline font was NimbusSansCondensed Bold. I recall (hopefully correctly) that I used typekit for the font. Is it retired - because it is not available  anymore? I paid for typekit, used the font and now I have to go buy the font again elsewhere to make edits? Can someone clarify please

thanks in advance

    I just opened a project in Premiere that I needed to make adjustments to, and I'm having the same issue. The original font was NimbusSansCon Bold. The new one, NimbusSansCond L Bold isn't even close. 

    Why do you do this to your users, Adobe?

      I had to rebuy the font seperately (elsewhere) at extra cost and was
      ignored by adobe ... Quite a few of us have been effected.

        Hi Mokani,

         

        Thank you for reaching out. I have checked at my end on windows and i am able to see the fonts. Please see the attached screenshot below:

         

        Would you mind confirming if you have paid Typekit subscription or free? We would also suggest checking the same font on any other machine.

         

        Let us know if that helps.

         

        Thanks,

        Harshika

        Hi Harshika,

        thank you for responding.

        I have a subscription Creative Cloud All Apps, Annual plan, paid monthly (ongoing for many years). I use only one apple mac so the work was not generated elsewhere. The fonts in the screengrab above are also available to me but they are very different to the one I used last year. The line lenghts are much longer now. All my documents reflowed when I tried the fonts available on typekit this week. The only solution I could find in time for my deadline was to buy again buy from a supplier and I had to pay another £30 for a license (uk). Here is a screen grab to show the difference between Nimbus Sans Condensed Bold (top row) and Nimbus Sans Cond L (bottom row). They are really different except the names.

        thanks for looking into this for me

          Hi,

           

          I am having the exact same problem. I've been using Nimbus Sans Cond Bold through typekit and realized it doesn't seem available anymore.  Now the font on typekit (Nimbus Sans Cond L Bold) looks very different.
