Question

Missing font from Illustrator that does not exist

Hello,

I have an annoying problem that I hope someone can help me with. I'm using Illustrator CC 2018 on a Mac and I have a missing font in the font list, which does not exist anywhere on my computer. I've tried resetting the parameters when launching Illustrator, looked for it in every single "Fonts" folder on the computer, but it literally does not exist.

Anyone has come across this issue before?

Other than what is in this thread: no.

I have the same Myriad Roman font listed (and missing) in my font list.

The font has been part of CS6 and earlier and I can still find it as required inside the CS6 app, but it is not installed in any of the fonts folders, at least I cannot find it.

Cleaning caches does not help.

Anyway, Myriad Pro Regular is the substitute for this mystery font.

What I found as a temporary solution is to just download and install the Myriad Roman font from a free font website. I have always liked my font lists and files in general to be perfectly tidy and organised so this solution somewhat fixes the problem.
