aerender sometimes uses wrong font

I'm running aerender across several machines and I often find that it uses the wrong font.  This only happens on a machine where I am not logged in to creative cloud.  When I do log in I sometimes get a notice about updating fonts and then it renders with the correct fonts.  However, those fonts existed previously on the machine.

 

So it appears that I have to be logged in to my CC account in order for the fonts to work correctly.

 

But I thought aerender allows me to utilize processors on any computer.  Am I missing something?  If not, how do I get aerender to use the correct fonts?

 

Thanks,

Fonts from Adobe Fonts are only available if you are logged in.

There is nothing wrong with aerender, it just don't have access to the necessary ressource if you are not logged in and falls back to a stanard font.

 

If you want to avoid the log-in situation, you have to download the font and install it on every computer.

Maybe check to see if the font exist on those machines outside of AE.

If not I'd recommend purchasing the font on a service like Font.com

I don't have any software on that machine other than the Adobe apps that could determine if they exist outside the Adobe apps.

 

But are those fonts not supposed to be available for aerender if I'm not signed in?  Or am I just missing a configuration option somewhere?

 

Again, I thought the point of aerender is that it lets you make use of machines that are just sitting around, even ones where you're not signed in.  If you don't have access to fonts then that utility is severely reduced.
