I create SVG/PNG Files for Etsy, and I go to school at Full Sail University; the program doesn't let me download my own fonts from my computer because the administrator controls it. Am I allowed to use the Adobe fonts and fonts I downloaded from Creative Cloud for SVG and PNG files? Or are they copywritten?

    If you have a Creative Cloud account signed in on a school computer I would think you should be able to add/install or remove fonts via the Adobe Fonts web site and Creative Cloud Desktop app. The fonts from the Adobe Fonts service technically don't get installed in the OS.

     

    When creating SVG images using fonts from the Adobe Fonts service I'd recommend converting the text objects to outlines. PNG images are pixel-based and hold no font data. Regarding copyrights, most fonts carry some sort of copyright. That especially goes for any that are commercially sold. Even many fonts that are available to download for free have copyright protection.
