Fonts and creative cloud questions?

  • April 6, 2015

I have been a CS Design user for many years, more then I want to admit. I have always owned my own Adobe product's version and my own font collections. I have over a thousand fonts, some of which are very old. So far, using CS 5.5 Design and Web Premium, I have had NO problems with these fonts.

My question is, if I go to the "cloud" version, what happens with my fonts. Will they sync? Will they have a problem with version'ing? I am a freelance designer and my clients have become a custom to the unique font options I provide. If I can't pull up 5.5 files with these fonts and have them work, it will be a VERY costly upgrade that I would NOT be happy about.

Can someone tell me their experience going to the "cloud" versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop with their personally owned fonts?

Thank you.

For fonts that you have personally licensed and installed on your computer system(s), there is no difference in terms of how you access them with the Creative Cloud versions of the applications.

Please note that the “Creative Cloud” does not infer that the applications run “in the cloud” but that additional, optional cloud-based services are now offered and that your installation is via download from a server. After that, assuming that you neither need nor want any of the cloud-based services, the software runs in the same manner as the CS versions.

If this is true, I should be all set and very happy with the cloud then. Thank you for your answer!

It definitely is true. But if you find any unintended glitches, let us know such they may be resolved!
