When I install a font from the My Adobe fonts UI they show up in the font list in PS, ID and Illu but not XD. Yet another XD font issue in addition to the ones we already have. OS is W10.
Though XD accepted the fonts (along with all my other CC programs) I uploaded into the program it doesn't want to communicate them into the mobile preview. Got the classic "fonts missing" message. It didn't regconize one of the fonts I used and reformatted them all into an Arial type sans serif and changed uppercase letters into lowercase ones. Really would hate to change them into a less appealing/approiate font. Really frustrating to deal with. Is there a way to solve this issue??
I'm also facing this issue in XD (15.0.12.8) with both local and Typekit fonts, but have a workaround.
XD seems to ignore any font not physically located in the Windows/Fonts folder. If you're using a font manager, those fonts probably won't be available unless you manually copy the fonts over to %windir%\fonts and then restart XD.
Hi I had this problem of typekit fonts not showing up in Xd: I synchronised a full family of a font and only the bold one appeard in the list. I found out that all the other were available, but at the end of the font list, they were not sorted by name in alphabetical order.
I went through the online chat help. I had to quit XD, go to fonts.adobe.com. Sign in, if not signed in. In upper right corner choose "My Adobe fonts". search in the search bar for what font I wanted. And had to activate each one of them. Then when I restarted XD, the fonts were available. What a pain.
I am not using any type of font manager, just directly the adobe fonts and the fonts in my computer. Activated as some people mention (Going to my fonts in adobe fonts) restarted XD, even restarted my computer and is still not showing -.- can someone help without another year passing by?
We are sorry to hear you are unable to see activated fonts in XD. We would like to know if you're able to see the fonts activated in the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
With all due respect, this doesn't help. Could you please read through this entire thread to see how common an issue this is, and you will also see that it's something that needs the dev team to remedy in a patch, rather than requesting that PAYING CUSTOMERS to Creative Cloud need to use workarounds (e.g. sign out, sign in, deactivate then reactivate individual fonts/font families, uninstall then re-install etc.).
We are sorry for the trouble. We would like to know if you're able to see the font activated in the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Are you able to see the font in other Adobe App?
If your activated fonts are not displayed in XD, Please try signing out of XD, Creative Cloud, restart the machine, and then sign back in. If it doesn't help, please try deactivating the font and reactivating it again.
For non-Adobe Fonts, try the following solution that has helped some of our users
Open font manager (an old copy of Extensis Suitcase Fusion in my case)
Deactivate fonts
Reactivate fonts
Open the file in XD. You should be able to see the fonts displayed.
Sorry for the trouble. Would you mind confirming if it's a specific Adobe Font or all fonts? Could you please share the version of Creative Cloud Desktop app and XD? Please share the operating system you are using.
Thanks for the confirmation, Eric. Could you please connect with our suppport team directly and initiate a chat with them so that they can remote into your system and help?
Fonts are working fine in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I tried to activate a specific font for the last couple of hours. Nothing worked out. Unbelievable! – Upload .otf or .ttf File in Creative Cloud
– Put the font direct into system library
– Activate and deactivate the font in FontExplorer X Pro
I can see the font in all Adobe apps, except ADOBE XD! Please find a solution for this pain.
Had the same issue. Because I wasn't logged in on Adobe fonts page, none of the fonts showed up in XD. All I had to do was log in and check my fonts under the manage tab to make sure they were on, then restart XD and they showed up.
