Keynote and Pages not recognizing activated fonts

New Here ,
Nov 15, 2021 Nov 15, 2021

I have scoured the internet and threads for a viable solution to this problem. I am working on a Mac with the most updated Monterey iOS. I work in the creative field and it is imperative that my fonts load properly. Sadly, many of the font families that are activated on Creative Cloud don't show up properly in the "regular" or "book" typeface. The font is extremely condensed and words are on top of each other. I read that other people have had this problem and nothing seems to fix it. I've gone into Terminal and typed recommended codes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled after attempting to "clean" the cache, to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks

saw this in another thread and it worked for me. 
"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. "

Same for me... open the file, tells me I have a missing font.  Look at the available fonts, and Source Serif Pro shows on the list with a red circled exclamation mark.  I'm ok with Source Sans Pro.  Have quit and reopened Keynote and Pages.  Have quit and reopened Creative Cloud.  
This is a problem because I need to use this font for a specific template.

Another workaround I've found is to use the desired font in InDesign and then copy the text and paste it into the "Title Textbox" in Keynote. The font will now magically appear in the list. 🙂

It works here on Sonoma 14.7.1/Keynote 14.2
Although I installed the fonts in the Adobe desktop application ”For Adobe and other local applications) – they do not show in the Apple-app lists. Actually, they show nowhere as files, they are not even searchable.
Really, since when a designer has to be her own admin? So timeconsuming.

Update. It works and does not work. This font yes, the other font no. Thoughts?

Follow Cleoooo 's response

And if it still doesn't work choose a headline or piece of text in your Keynote presentation and then use Command + T to bring up fonts choose all fonts in the left hand sidebar and find the font you've installed locally from Adobe Fonts click that and that will change the individual headline or piece of text into the font you want to use. One you've done this it will now be visible in the font choice dropdown or via the replace fonts feature.
