Question

Adobe Fonts aren't activating as expected

Working with a client's MOGRT for the first time and it gives me the font missing badge (yellow capital T in a square with a warning triangle). Dealing with them has reminded me of some inconsistencies with the way I thought I Premiere was supposed to handle missing fonts as well as activation.

  1. One of the missing fonts (Interstate) is available on Adobe Fonts. I thought it was supposed to check for that and instantly activate any matching Adobe fonts? It's possible that they used a non-Adobe version here but then how is it searching for a match? Is it not just by name? Because once I added Interstate in Adobe Fonts the warning on the template went away so clearly it was a match, yet it didn't automatically find it on it's own.
  2. The other issue (which has been long-standing) is that activating a font or font family in Adobe fonts does NOT add it to Premiere Pro right away. You have to do one of two things: restart the program or click on the "install for non-Adobe apps" button in Creative Cloud to fully load it on your system. That seems entirely counter-intuitive; shouldn't it be active right away even it it's just available to Adobe apps?

Is the MOGRT downloaded from Adobe Stock?

Because Stock contributors are forced to use Adobe Fonts.

If no, you should make sure that the MOGRT creator has

properly enabled fonts, downloaded licensed fonts (not

cracked versions), and properly universalized expressions if

the mogrt was created on after effects and if any expressions 

related to text were used.

Pretty sure the client's team made the MOGRTs from After Effects themselves.

I can ask about the font but it's still odd that it didn't auto activate despite the apparent match to the version on Adobe Fonts.
