Question

Specific problem happening with the font Inter in Illustrator. We can see that it's used but when we select the text box, we can't see the name of the font.

Heya! We are a small team which contains a few graphic designers. These designers create Illustrator files containing the font Inter. We can’t really change this font since it’s our client’s must use font.
When the graphic designers open these files, they have absolutely no issues. But when the rest of the team opens them, they can see the text boxes displaying the right font but when they go to see the font used and determine if it’s the light or the regular version, the box is completely blank. It also just happens with the font Inter, all the other ones display their names with no issue.


We have tried desinstalling Illustrator, making sure it’s the latest version, desinstalling the font, installing different types of fonts files for Inter, opening the file locally and in our One Drive.

We don’t know what else to try :(

    That’s a Google font. Make sure you don’t have the Google installed directly along with the Adobe font.

    Did you try disabling the GPU preference?

    What shows up in the Control panel and Character panel?

    We’ve downloaded multiple google fonts alongside the Adobe Fonts before and it’s never caused an issue before?

    I tried disabling GPU preference and in the font selection menu still empty.

    The Control and Character Panel are also empty.

    Just to clarify, I meant having the same font installed directly from Google and from Adobe at the same time.

    DO some of your people probably use font management?

    Everyone has Adobe font or just downloads them on their pc. In this case, Inter is not through Adobe font. It’s downloaded locally.
