Question

Typekit fonts are conflicting with purchased fonts

I use Extensis Suitcase to manage my fonts on a 2017 iMac with Sierra OS. I have the latest creative cloud on my iMac.

I own complete families of Roboto and Source Sans Pro.

For some reason, Adobe Typekit has put fragmented families of those two fonts in my system.

Only the incomplete Adobe Typekit version of Source Sans Pro and Roboto are showing up even though I have the purchased font families activated.

So Adobe's Typekit fonts are making my complete font families inaccessible.

That makes it impossible for me to work which needs the complete font families of the two fonts mentioned.

Adobe Typekit fonts show up in Suitcase as locked, so I cannot deactivate or delete them.

I did not have this problem with this a few days ago when I worked on the same file.   There were no Adobe Typekit versions of the fonts in my system.

I need to know two things:

  1. How do I unlock and delete or deactivate the Typekit versions of the fonts?
  2. How would I add the complete font family to the Typekit version if I chose to do so?

Please help me resolve this issue so I can complete  projects on deadline.

Thank you.

The problem is that "Adobe Typekit" shows up in Suitcase with activated fonts.  I don't know how to get rid of it since it shows up locked.
