Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. The Adobe Fonts can only be activated and cannot be downloaded on your system the same way that your local fonts are, so they won’t show up in your font management software or in the system fonts folder.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

To download Adobe Fonts, you typically need an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Here's how to do it:

Access Adobe Fonts: Go to the Adobe Fonts website (fonts.adobe.com) and sign in with your Adobe ID associated with your Creative Cloud subscription.
Browse Fonts: Browse through the extensive library of fonts available on Adobe Fonts. You can filter fonts by categories, styles, and more to find the perfect ones for your projects.
Activate Fonts: Once you've found the fonts you want to use, simply click on the "Activate" button next to each font. This adds the fonts to your active font list.
Sync Fonts: After activating the fonts you need, you'll need to sync them to your computer. To do this, open the Creative Cloud desktop app, go to the Fonts section, and click the "Sync Fonts" button. This will download and install the activated fonts onto your computer.
Use Fonts: Once the fonts are synced to your computer, you can use them in any supported application, such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign.

That's it! You've successfully downloaded and installed Adobe Fonts. Enjoy using them in your creative projects!

My company is probably going to give up on using Adobe fonts for print. The "cloud"-based approach leads to all sorts of glitches we don't get when we host the files ourselves. We are constantly having to deactivate/reactivate fonts, recreate preferences etc, just to keep our regular fonts working in our regular templates. We can fix an inactive font for one file and then the same problem occurs again in the same file on a different machine or in a different file on the same machine. Total anarchy. In comparison to this, the traditional method of simply purchasing the files themselves and installing them on the local operating system is far superior.

I'm not the biggest fan of Google but they do have a large, free, high-quality font library that you can download.

Paying 59.00 a month ad nauseum forever is not enough to be able to actually download these fonts to my computer is ridiculous. I have permission to use in commercial design but I can only turn them on and off in my own system? As a professional designer it's been a standard to have the actual font for the packaging of a logo or at the least a business card design, and now thanks to adobe not allowing this, it is useless to even test out or use any of the fonts in your database that we are supposedly already paying for. What gives? Please make this possible, Adobe team! Seriously!!

The Adobe Fonts service is far, far too low priced for that. The font files in Adobe Fonts would retail at maybe $50,000. So clearly they aren't going to give you them in a $60 per month service for many other things. It's an amazing bargain, but with severe limitations for long term planning and web fonts. In such cases I'd always recommend licensing separately. Check out Adobe Font Folio (not for web use).

Also, sending on fonts with logos and designs has ALWAYS been a license violation. At last Adobe can stop it. Why would you need it today anyway - the recipient's subscription will give them the font to work with...?
Finally, Adobe only own about 5% or less of the fonts in Adobe Fonts. The makers of the others would take their ball and go home, if Adobe suggested giving away their font files.

Poor Adobe. Why, they must be going broke letting people activtae their fonts using just a subscription.

My sarcasm aside, here is a ligitimate question. Was it $50,000 to buy the Adobe font library in the past? And if that's the case, why isn't there a discount for rebuying the fonts now that everything has to be open type? It seems to me we should still be able to buy the library, and yes, at a discount.

Let's see if we can solve this, Diane. Please answer these questions.

1. How are you trying to download the fonts?

2. Where are the fonts from, and what are the fonts?

3. What happens when you try?

because adobe is too cheap to allow fonts to be downloaded. Perhaps after subscribing for over a year they could, but forget it. Adobe is one big greedy tyghtwade. They forget who made them who they are today.

Completely my thoughts! This is total BS - if I have a subscription, it should come with downloadable font files, not some BS rigamarol trying to find the original and license it. Do better Adobe.
