Adobe Fonts not shown in Keynote

[sh58070743]

Hi everyone, I'm using Ventura 13.1 and some fonts I installed in Adobe fonts (they're "activated" and show up in other programmes e.g. InDesign) are not shown in Keynote. Ideas anyone? Thanks!

Hi There,

Welcome to our community forum. We are sorry for your difficulties as you are unable to use fonts in Keynote.

Could you please check if the fonts are showing activated in fonts.adobe.com? You could try signing out and signing in back to fonts.adobe.com and check if this helps. 

We are here to help you, it's just we need more details to investigate.

We hope to hear from you soon.

I am having the same issues, the only fonts that don't appear in Keynote are the ones from adobe 

[Bobby Henderson · Accepted solution]

Have you installed the fonts for all apps to use? When adding fonts at the Adobe Fonts website the fonts are merely added for Adobe applications. That is the new default behavior. In order to make the fonts visible to all applications on a computer the fonts have to be installed by using the Creative Cloud desktop app. 

[Karina34316972hvmf]

Thank you! This did the trick and was very helpful, I would have not known otherwise.

I was a bit confused by the changes when Adobe put them into effect a couple or so months ago. They did add a pop up notice more recently that lets you open the Creative Cloud app when adding fonts at the Adobe Fonts web site.

Hiii, I am struggling with this same issue — in Adobe CC it shows my fonts / font families as "installed" and they work with figma, and obviously with cc apps. But, I can't seem to get to be available in Keynote or locally on my hard drive, any other suggestions?

[Bobby Henderson]

Typefaces that are synced (or "added" and "installed") via the Adobe Fonts service are not going to leave font files that are visible on the local hard disc. The font files are hidden from apps like Finder in MacOSX or Windows File Explorer. Likewise, the font files cannot be uploaded for use in other cloud-based apps or services. For example, Adobe Fonts won't work in Canva.

When the fonts are installed they should be visible to all apps installed on the computer's hard drive. If the fonts aren't visible in Keynote in a Mac desktop or notebook computer it could be due to the app being available on iOS devices, such as an iPhone or iPad. Maybe Apple only wants system fonts common to those devices visible in the app? Then again, I can install fonts synced via Adobe Fonts on an iPad by opening the Creative Cloud app and going into its Fonts section.

Thank you for this, but not sure I'm following... I think I'm most confused about how to get the fonts installed in the way you are mentioning in the 2nd paragraph. I do have them "installed" in CC — but to your point, they aren't actually installed on my hard drive. Could you elaborate on these comments:

"App being available on iOS devices, such as an iPhone or iPad. Maybe Apple only wants system fonts common to those devices visible in the app? Then again, I can install fonts synced via Adobe Fonts on an iPad by opening the Creative Cloud app and going into its Fonts section."

[Bobby Henderson]

I'm not sure what else I can say to describe the process. When an added type family from Adobe Fonts is "installed" the Creative Cloud app does things under the surface of the operating system to make those fonts available to the applications installed in the computer. The CC app does this trick without placing any font files visible in any folders on the computer, that way people can't illegally copy, upload and/or share the font files.

Having the same issure

[blissful_outfit0269]

Such annoying UI. Finally figured it out. After adding the font to your CC via the web browser, you have to go into the CC desktop app, then in the top right there's a fancy 'f' for their fonts. Click on that, browse the fonts you've added, then on the right there's an icon for you to download and install them on local apps. Now I have my Adobe fonts on Keynote! And another reason to increase my animosity towards Adobe !

I'm also having the same issue and I think I installed them correctly becasue they say they're installed "In Adobe apps and other local apps" but still can't see them in Keynote. 

[hannah5E8A]

having the same issue right now

[Frank2459666243ph]

In Keynote, go to Format > Font > Show Fonts, or 'Command-T'. Then select 'All Fonts' in the left sidebar. You will probably find the missing fonts there.

same problem. I can't see adobe fonts in keynote

[Ducrocq Digital]

Thanks, that fixed the problem for me!

[Per_�hlin1038]

No, this doesn't work either.

The font shows in all other apps on my mac.

[smashkirk]

I'm having this problem currently. Font shows active in Creative Cloud Desktop app, with a green dot and says "in Adobe and other local apps". The font is not loading in Keynote.

Hi @smashkirk,

Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about this.  Are you able to use Adobe fonts on other devices? Have you tried signing out and signing in again to check if that helps?

Regards,

There is another thread about this from last year. I'm having this problem currently. Font shows active in Creative Cloud Desktop app, with a green dot and says "in Adobe and other local apps". The font is not loading in Keynote. Very frustrating.
