Adobe Fonts not appearing in most font manager apps in Windows 11 after install in CCD

[DeathEffect]

Hello Folks. I use font manager programs to view fonts outside of Adobe when comparing typefaces i'm considering using for particular projects. I've been able to do this no problem in Windows 10 for a few years now; I used to activate Adobe Fonts in browser and in Creative Cloud Desktop and install them for other apps. Then the likes of Font Xplorer, Fontbase and Nexusfont would have them appear alongside the contents of my windows font folder.

I'm on a newly built PC now running Windows 11 Pro and I had wanted to use a font viewer program as part of my workflow, however Adobe Fonts do not show up at all in all three of these apps. I have installed the fonts, showing green as available in other apps as they were on Windows 10. I've cleaned and reinstalled my CCD installation twice, removing the fonts before uninstall and then adding them back in after a clean install. I have toggled the service on and off in preferences in CCD. Nothing has worked.

They do show up in OpenOffice Writer though, so I'm not sure why that is.

Any help would be appreciated, the new PC specs are:

Ryzen 7900x

ASUS TUF B650 MB

64gb DDR5

Windows 11 Pro

Hi @DeathEffect,

I can share some info on why this is happening and would say it is expected behavior with the way Adobe Fonts work. Adobe Fonts are not available system-wide due to licensing restrictions. They are made available to Adobe applications and a few other third-party apps, including MS Office products; this is likely why they appear in OpenOffice. How Adobe Fonts appear in other font management software is determined by those programs not us/our service.  You might want to double-check the font managements documentation for what is expected. Also, different plans include different levels of access. These articles might be helpful for additional info.
