How do I disable Typekit?

[christopherj66810397]

Since moving to CC versions of the Adobe Suite, we're finding them VERY slow to load, and TypeKit is (to put it politely) annoying.

We use Suitcase Fusion to manage all fonts, and don't need TypeKit in any way, shape or form, it interferes with Fusion and slows every CC app down massively.

So, how do we turn off, disable or remove TypeKit from the CC suite so that it doesn't interfere with Fusion and doesn't check every time we open a program?

Hi Christopher,

Please visit Add fonts to your desktop from Typekit to disable Typekit Sync.

I hope this will help. Please write us in case of further assistance.

Regards,

Shelly

Hi,

I need to disable typekit in Muse to prevent our site to connect to the typekit server.

The site has no  typekit font (only Arial), but it still connects to typekit server.

Can anyone help

Disabling typekit in creative cloud app preferences does not work.

I'm talking about those steps:

Turn off Typekit

You can enable or disable font sync. Disabling font sync will stop syncing fonts and remove any synced fonts from your computer.

• In the Creative Cloud desktop app, choose > Preferences > Creative Cloud.
• Click Fonts.
• To enable or disable font sync, select either On or Off from the Typekit On/Off settings.

OK, I turned off "TypeKit" in Creative Cloud's preferences weeks ago, found it myself on hunch.

The wretched "Creative Cloud" pop-up menu still always - ALWAYS - comes up when I open an InDesign file that uses fonts that I've manually closed, for font managment reasons, AND images that have lost their link because I moved a folder during a cleanup.

I do not now nor will I ever use these "Creative Cloud" ... marketing "features" ... I've been a heavy high-end user of Adobe software since Illustrator 88 and do not need this annoying interruption every time I open a file. I am not going to use your "Cloud" fonts, ever. And if I was ever going to buy illustrations from you, I certainly won't now and into the future.

As I keep saying to you guys, what the heck is wrong with you?

I totally agree with you!! This is annoying…and biting my time too!

[sargentrock2]

Glad to have a fellow traveler on this journey. Is your remark "biting my time" a typo?

I started my own thread on this and immediately attracted the same Adobe Forum troll I was "schooled" by a couple years ago.

He seems to think I should be like Karnak the Magician, and just tap the envelope containing the 5-year-old InDesign file my client sent me to revise (I didn't create it) against my forehead to discern what fonts and images were used in the file so I can load and link them before I open the file — if I want the stupid Adobe pop-up to go away. No, I know what's going to happen when open that file, and I know what to do. Hit "Package", it will tell me everything I need to know. I started setting type in 1978 on a Varityper, learned Genigraphics in 1984 (which was bought by Microsoft and merged into Powerpoint five years later), learned and used Pagemaker v2 and Quark v2 when the typeshops I was working in bought them, and I don't need to be schooled by forum trolls about how to use this graphic arts software.

I don't see how this is disabling it

[sargentrock2]

It doesn't. They don't want us to be able to, they want to sell us fonts and images. These are not features to enhance our productivity, these are marketing schemes straight out of Dilbert's World, and I consider them to be deliberately on all the time to be a bug, not a feature.

I have problems with my After Effects, I'm getting annoying popup window with Typekit, before I used to fly through my fonts with arrows or scroll button and now it is pain in the ass. Anyone know how to disable from AE this function? Than you J
