I get two new fonts installed every day and have for a long time in Photoshop. How long will it last until the Mac is full or what?

Start noticing and report back. Get a screenshot if you can, or tell us the exact wording.

Hi Jane

It is Photoshop that installs two fonts every day.

I have only noticed that two fonts come in every day, but not which ones

@jane-e this is the missing font notification from Photoshop when launching. Other users have noted this as well. The solution is to permanently activate the missing font via fonts.adobe.com.

Activating missing fonts via the missing fonts dialog is temporary until you restart your machine again.

Can you answer my earlier question about who or what is installing these typefaces?

Can you also give us the names of the ones that were install recently? At least over the past week?

OK, it's fine if copies are not installed, but I have plenty of those on Adobe Phptoshop

Hi @E Morten if you are referring to Monserrat - go to fonts.adobe.com and permanently activate the font. What is happening is PS is recognizing the font is missing so it's temporarily activating each time. It's not installing multiple copies.

Please clarify. Who or what is installing these typefaces every day and where are they coming from? Google? MyFonts? Adobe Fonts? Apple? Somewhere else?

NOTE: Typefaces do not get installed into applications. They get installed on your computer and can be used by applications.
