Educational Subscription - Missing Fonts

Question

We have recently upgraded from CS6 to Creative Cloud on an Educational Subscription licensing the Machines not the User.

We are running CC on Macs running High Sierra - The Macs were all wiped before installing the CC suite.

The advice given was not to give the individual students access to creative cloud. One reason being, as we have recently discovered, the Creative Cloud App will install trial versions on software on the machine, bypassing the Local Admin rights. But that is an aside.

The main problem is the complete lack of common and familiar fonts, most of last years projects/designs show missing font errors.

How can we as an educational establishment with 70 CC licenses install the basic set of fonts we used to have with CS6 - we do not allow the CC app on the student machines.

In Summary,

We are missing most of the fonts we enjoyed with CS6

Students don't have access to CC app.

Work from previous years is showing missing font errors

How do we add the CS6 fonts without using TypeKit?

All advice greatly appreciated

Hi,Adobe software does not install fonts. The software uses system fonts and so if you have reset the MACs, you have removed all the additional fonts.The solution is to reset the fonts because Adobe does not provide them outside of Typekit.

Never assume that the fonts you find on a machine or get with an app are a fixed always-available set. Creative Suite used to install a lot of fonts. Now these have moved into TypeKit, I understand. You may want to invest in a good set of fonts for the students with a perpetual license to avoid issues on future releases, or as fonts move into and out of typekit etc.
