WHY is Adobe's FONT MANAGEMENT so crap?...

Log in to Adobe Stock, find a template you like and download it.
Open with InDesign and what happens?...

LONG LIST of missing fonts.
Search Adobe Fonts - and THERE they all are.
I mean,,, WTF?
Who is programming this stuff - and why are they so technically incompetant?

I HAVE NOT LEFT THE ADOBE ECOSPHERE.
If I open an InDesign document - why can't it just open immediately with all the fonts in place?

SERIOUSLY... would it be that difficult?
Even better when you go to Adobe Fonts, activate the font, re-open with InDesign and it STILL doesn't recognise that the font is there.
With million of people paying millions of dollars each month - can't adobe just hire some better programmers?
Imagine asking a hotel for toast, only to be told "Sorry, there is no toast" - but the hotel has bread and a toaster...   You'd hire better staff, right?

    I absolutely second this post. I never, NEVER had a smooth experience of fonts management.

    This is something you wouldn't expect from a company that takes billions from their users.

        This is happening to me too, most frustrating thing on earth! Been trying to load fonts for the last hour. Wake up Adobe.

          Hi there,

           

          We apologize for the delay in response. Are you still experiencing the issue with Adobe Fonts in InDesign? We would like to if this happened with InDesign or other products as well.

           

          We will try our best to investigate.

           

          Thanks,

          Harshika
