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

[ThaesOfereode_5555]

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?

Hi ThaesOfereode,

I don't use Google Fonts myself so am not sure, but I did fint this which might be helpful
https://fonts.adobe.com/foundries/google?cc=true

Hope that helps,

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.

I wondered that too. So long as you have a membership I believe these are all available. If one clicks the view family button it should present options for activating any of the individual fonts within that family. I'll include example screenshots for reference.

David, Ah-HA!

So if I read your answer correctly, all I would  need to do is have a look at the *Google* fonts listed at that URL and then click through to "View Family" --- and since I arrived there from the URL showing Google fonts as listed by Adobe (...fonts.adobe.com/foundries/google...) --- I can assume that hitting the Activate font button (as I do have the CC subscription) will activate the selected font even though I am not doing this from within any of my CC apps at that moment. So that the next time I launch Adobe InDesign, that font will be in my list of activated fonts. Yes? I did not assume that such would be the case! I "arrived" at this question initially from the fact that I design for BOTH print and web for my clients, and given all the recent Adobe font chaos, I wanted to be able to tell my clients that the fonts I'm choosing for their website are ALSO available for print work, for sake of brand consistency. This is also because the WordPress theme I like to use includes access to all of the Google fonts "out of the box" without having to set up any custom fonts for a website. Looks like I can consider this question resolved!

Correct, so long as the Creative Cloud desktop app is open and you're signed in, all fonts will be licensed and available in all Creative Cloud apps like InDesign.

Got it!

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.
