Fonts that are the same on both Google Fonts and via Adobe InDesign or Illustrator?

Is there somewhere a list of all those fonts which are the same on both Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts?

That is, some way of finding fonts that are available in both --- other than taking each of the names of the fonts available from Google Fonts and then doing a search for those same fonts by name, one by one, to see if they're available for activation from within, i.e. Adobe InDesign?

Yes, I did see this

https://fonts.adobe.com/foundries/google?cc=true

in my "travels" to try and find the information. It's an Adobe URL, and the page is titled "Google" and the introduction talks about Google Fonts --- but nowhere does it SAY whether the fonts shown there are the set of those fonts which are ALSO available for activation from within Adobe apps. So the ONE key piece of information which could answer the question is missing.

Several type foundries (including Google) have offered a subset of their typefaces on Adobe Fonts.

One thing you may be aware of is that typefaces that come from Adobe Fonts cannot be packaged in InDesign. The typeface David showed earlier is also available on Google.

What I don't know and have not tested, is if you use a Google typeface from Adobe Fonts, will it Package in InDesign? And does it matter? The user who received it will be able to activate it when the file is opened, so maybe not.

Still, if there is a bit of a "wrinkle" with packaging. AFAIK there are a couple of ways of coping with that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but fonts used in, say, an InDesign file intended for press can be turned over for commercial printing within a press quality PDF rather than by packaging the native InDesign file for turnover along with all its supporting files. Also --- so long as the recipient of an Adobe native file can activate the needed fonts at their end, there should be no problem.
