I've been contacted by the Foundry telling me the above font needs to be licenced directly from them.
The person concerned didnt even know the CG Pro was available on Adobe fonts, even though it plainly is, and from my reading about the licence it's already is as part of my CC subsrciption.
Am I right in thinking the "Pro" means the OTF version with some extra "characters" ?
They're trying to get me to sign up to a MT subscription plan which I dont think I need.

Anyone else in a similar situation ?

Roger

Someone from Monotype is calling you about Century Gothic? That's pretty weird, and it's especially weird they're calling to complain about use of Century Gothic. It's a common typeface included with the system fonts in the Windows OS. If I was in your position I'd forward them the link to the Century Gothic page at Adobe Fonts:

What prompted the type foundry's people to contact you? Did you have copies of those fonts uploaded in a web site or other documents posted online (such as PDF files) containing live font data?
