Adobe Fonts & Type 1 fonts

Report · May 24, 2022

I am curious about others' experiences transitioning from Type 1 fonts & how they are doing it.

I want to start using the Adobe Fonts service. There are Type 1 fonts like Arial, Helvetica, and Helvetica Neue & Gotham that are not available for replacements or mapping in Adobe Fonts. How are the people managing this?
Is anyone using a Font management program at the same time as using Adobe Fonts? I was thinking to upload the client OTF fonts to Adobe Fonts that way I'm dealing with one program managing the fonts.

I'll appreciate any advice you can give me.

You can't upload to Adobe Fonts so far as I know.

I'm sorry you didn't receive a more detailed response. Unfortunately Adobe Fonts cannot be used as a font management system. I know many Adobe Fonts users do rely on Font Suitcase/other font management systems without issue.

If you're looking to replace OT versions of fonts in your documents, Adobe software will give you the option to choose which font on your computer to replace the font in the document with. As you may know, licenses for the fonts you mentioned are available for purchase from a reseller like myfonts.com.

If you work from multiple devices, you may be interested in our Add Fonts to Creative Cloud feature. This would allow you to upload font files you own to Creative Cloud so that they are available on any device where you log into the Creative Cloud app.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Best regards,

Molly
