Font won’t get activated!

3rd party fonts wouldn’t activate in InDesign (ver. 19.0.1). The background task blue circle keeps spinning for hours. I have removed and reinstalled InDesign, restarted my Mac Studio, and removed and reinstalled the font. I do not have this issue with my other Mac.

It's a .ttf font that I installed via 'Font Book'.

On your second screenshot, we can see that the missing font is an OTF font.

 

I suspect that your file is actually using the OTF version of this font, which is the Adobe font version that InDesign tries to activate, since the installed version is the Google font version which is a TTF version.

 

So, to fix the issue, either replace the OTF version by the TTF one or remove the TTF one (or deactivate it in FontBook), then you will be able to activate the OTF cloud version.

What kind of font are you using? WHERE are you trying to install the fonts?

 

Usually you would put them in the Fonts folder in your User folder: Users > [username] > Library >. Fonts

 

Or: [ComputerName] > Library > Fonts.

 

If those locations are not working you can go to Applications > [Adobe InDesign 2024] folder > Fonts.

The background task blue circle keeps spinning for hours.

This “blue circle” appears only when activating Adobe fonts on cloud, not for installed fonts
