Captivate tries to update fonts but freezes

Hi

 I am trying to open some Captivate files, which I created last year, before I upgraded my verions of Captivate. They take ages to load, but once they are loaded, Captivate tries to "Update Missing Fonts" and then freezes at 50%. The fonts are not missing from Adobe Creative cloud, so I have no idea what to do.

Any suggestions?

Regards

    I suspect you have been using Adobe fonts? If yes, can you check in Adobe fonts if they are still activated? I am asking this because Adobe Fonts deactivates fonts since a while when they are not used regularly. It is very annoying in this case, because I often open older Captivate files using Adobe fonts. If you are on 11.5 or later, normally you should also see a possibility to replace those missing fonts. Was that not the case or are you on an older version?

    I checked that. They are activated. However, I am beginning to suspect that my current version of Captivate cannot open files created on my previous version of Captivate. Have you come across this?

    It'll open some files, but not others. Same problem.
