In the summer of 2016 I was forced to upgrade to window 10 and now I have lost several fonts after the upgrade.

Anyone have a solution for this? I think Adobe should give us access to all fonts for paying a monthly fee with CC

Clients art has optima regular and now the file opens up missing font...I have seen this with 3-4 client so far.

I have the adobe creative cloud with dreamweaver, AI, Photoshop.

It happens to everyone. Going forward, copy your fonts to an external drive BEFORE you upgrade your OS.

As a creative cloud member, you have access to Typekit's extensive font library.

Well thank you again! I didn't know that about Typekit's extensive font library...My font I needed was not in there but at least I can look in the future....

I found an old disk from 2005 that has several thousand fonts that one of my artist saved in the past....do you think i can use that disk and install those old fonts?

Possibly. It's worth a try.

Typekit fonts will be saved to your creative cloud library. Next time you sync to your CC library they will be available to your desktop apps.
