downloaded font shows up as w1g one one device, and standard version on other

Question

I recently downloaded Lucida Console from adobe fonts on my home computer, but when i downloaded the same font (still listed as just "Lucida Console") on my work computer, it showed up in InDesign as "Lucida Console W1G".

I understand this means it has broader language support, but it's a problem, since the same font is now registered differently across devices, and I would have to replace it every time i open my document on a different device.

Does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?

Thanks

If you check the document’s font usage via InDesign’s  Find/Replace Font, does Lucida Console’s Path show as Activated from Adobe Fonts? Are you logged into the same Adobe account on your home and work computers?    I activated Lucida Console via the Add Font button at the Adobe Fonts site:
