Muse/Typekit web font list/preview?

  • July 14, 2013

Is there a specific foundry within Typekit that Muse uses to populate its list of available web fonts in the "Add Web Fonts..." menu? When I browse Typekit's site to find fonts for use in Muse the majority aren't available from within Muse. Likewise, some of the fonts available in the Muse menu are no where to be found on the Typekit site, Aguafina Script for example.

There's actually an Adobe foundry within Typekit, which contains LOTS of fonts unavailable in Muse. What kind of sense does that make?

It's difficult to use them in conjunction to facilitate type design. If I browse Typekit chances are the font isn't available in Muse anyways. If I browse Muse I frequently can't find the font on the Typekit site so I can preview at different sizes/weights to make a good decision regarding appearance and legibility for my viewers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

~Bob

BTW, why the heck don't all the browsers use Muse's Design Mode type rendering engine? Typekit fonts are stunning when viewed in Muse's Design Mode but look like terrible every where else... even in Muse's own Preview Mode. The only exception I can find is on an iPhone which alse renders type beautifully.

    Hi Bob,

    We discussed these Typekit questions in another thread, but I'm posting the information here as well for other users.

    Muse includes a set of free & open-source fonts called the Edge Web Fonts: https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/.

    Many of the Edge Web Fonts are also available on Typekit, but not all of them (as you found).  The font that you mentioned, Aguafina Script, is offered through Google Fonts:

    http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Aguafina+Script

    Currently, you can only select and preview the Edge Web Fonts in the Muse app.  You can still use other Typekit fonts on your website, though; they just won't show up in the Muse preview.  The Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:

    http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html

    Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website.

    Best,

    I have to say it does seem frustrating to read these initial posts from 2013 and it's still not working in 2015. Are there any timescales for when this will be integrated into Muse?

    Muse is a great app but it just currently doesn't offer the typographic freedom that it should.

    Hi,

    The 2015.0 release of Adobe Muse adds native support for Typekit web fonts. See The Typekit Blog | Adobe Muse introduces Typekit integration‌.

    No need to manually configure kits or embed code — Muse takes care of all that. Give it a try!

      Thanks for that clarification Liz. However, just to understand you 100%, you're saying that all Edge Web Fonts will be available with Muse preview & usage? Please let me know.

      Thanks,

      Daniel

      Hi Daniel,

      All of the Edge Web Fonts are already included in Muse.  If you choose "Add Web Fonts" from the font menu in Muse, the Edge Web Font browser will open.  Here are some screenshots:

      Apply one of these fonts to your text, and you can see how it looks right in the Muse Preview window.

      I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions.
