Typekit Fonts disallowed by Ad Network

Hi there,

 

The documentation provided by this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html#web-banner

Says that I'm able to use Typekit fonts for banner advertisements. However, this does not seem to be 100% true.

 

We're running a bunch of programmatic ads using Google Marketing Platform and 60% of these are getting disallowed by the network due to the Typekit CSS embed code: https://use.typekit.net/xxxxxxx.css

 

It is currently being flagged as an Unauthorised Ad Technology Provider, and their only suggestion is to get that URL certified, which is extremely unhelpful.

 

So I have two questions:

 

1. Would it be possible for Adobe to get the Typekit URL certified as an ATP CDN?, (I've noticed Adobe is already a certified vendor for other products https://developers.google.com/third-party-ads/adx-vendors). This seems an unlikely process to occur.

 

2. How can I download fonts and host them on Google's own asset library for use within their Ad Network?

 

Thanks for you help.

    For 2: your link says 

    Can I install the fonts on my server?

    No. The font licensing isn't compatible with server installation. You will need to purchase the appropriate font license for any fonts that you want to install on your server from the font foundry directly or the foundry's authorized reseller.
