Adobe Indesign (in realtà tutti i programmi Adobe CC ) non riconosce il font ttf DIN bold pur essendo installato nel sistema Window 7.

Altri programmi riconoscono il font.

Aprendo Indesign il font viene trovato (menu Trova font), ma non è reso disponibile nel menu dei font.

Sono installati e riconosciuti gli altri font ttf : DINRegular, DIN Light, DIN Black.

Opening an Indesign document, the font is found on "Find font" menu, but it is not available in font menu.

Are installed and recognized the other fonts ttf: DINRegular, DIN Light, DIN Black.

First of all, you need to convert your DIN-Bold font from TTF to OTF via online converter.

here you can : [link removed by moderator]

Install the converted OTF font, that will work cent percent.

Hi everyone,

I am having the exact same problem. I have DIN Light, Regular, Medium and Bold installed in my computer, but ID only recognizes the first 3. I have tried deleting the adobefntxx files, re-installing the font, but no luck. And Font Forge is not a user-friendly tool for an illiterate like me. Any kind soul that can help me out?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Problem fixed, there is indeed a bug with the font DIN Bold (at least with my version, and I suppose everybody here is having the same version) that required some digging into properties in order to make InDesign to recognize it, so not Adobe's fault

I remember that my DIN Next CYR fonts were not named properly inside the font and I had to edit the internal names to get applications to show all the variants properly--or at all. My guess is that this is the same issue with your versions. Without seeing the fonts I wouldn't know for certain.

Try contacting the source of the fonts. that said, I did contact them and never got a reply.

Windows font properties dialog isn't that much use. I am not saying your font is mis-named internally, but it sounds like it.

In the screen shot below, I fixed this open source font for another person today. The fields highlighted in red are the important ones and mainly the top two.

Without using a font editor or other tool you may not be able to see if this is the issue or not. But after reading through this thread today, with all that you have tried, I would reckon the internal naming is mucked up.

There is one other possible solution and that is to delete the Windows font cache and reboot. It can become corrupted, but it is a rare thing. It's happened to me, but I chalked it up to my font designing and swapping out versions constantly.
