Fonts not displaying in illustrator

Question

Having issues with fonts not showing in my font library. sometime when i launch illustrator, it shows no fonts available other than myriad pro. i go to preferences and tick 'show font names in english' this usually makes the fonts reappear, but sometimes they dissapear again and i tick 'show east asian options' or the indian options and it sometimes helps, but not always.

I am also having issues displaying new fonts downloaded from other site like envato, where i cannot get the font to show despite downloading an OTF. i am using windows fyi .

Hi @WILLCHILDS,

Thanks for sharing the details. Could you please confirm which version of Illustrator and Windows you’re using? Also, try signing out and then signing back in to the Creative Cloud desktop app once to see if that helps the fonts reappear. If the issue continues, please try clearing your system font cache and check again. You can find the steps here: https://adobe.ly/470dELb

Regarding the issue where your newly downloaded fonts aren’t being recognized, please take a look at this thread and let me know if it matches what you're experiencing: https://adobe.ly/43eNl2y

Looking forward to your update.
