I installed San Francisco as a system font, but I can't use it in any of the Creative Suite apps. Is there a way around this?

I recently upgraded my system font from Helvetica to San Francisco, but I can't use the San Francisco font in any of the Adobe Creative Suite apps (IE Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). Is there a way for me to use it in these applications? If not, how do I get a copy that I can use in the Creative Suite?

So...update: last week Apple released the beta version of the San Francisco font for iOS9 and El Capitan developers: Fonts - Apple Developer

Only available for download with the Apple Developer membership ($99/yr) - BUT the download link is unavailable today (San Francisco fonts | Apple Developer Forums)

Once they fix the download and this ends up working with Adobe apps, I'll let you know!

Look for "SF UI Display" and "SF UI Text" in your font names. It's hopefully there, if it's installed right. I'm using XD, and I had been looking for San Francisco -- nothing. It was filed under the shorthand SF names. Good luck!

I downloaded and installed the fonts from Apple, but did not originally see them in my font list in Photoshop because they are labeled as "SF UI", not "San Francisco".

San Francisco is not a licensed font! (unlike the previous OS X Helvetica Neue)

Therefore no one can use it for design layouts etc.

SF was ONLY licensed for Developers' UI testing, hence you need a Developer ID and the SF will cost you $99...

P.S. Font Book is crap!  It will only defragment your drive and sometimes will not recognise your uploaded fonts (you'll have to manually copy them into your System Font Folder!) - Besides that, overtime you turn your Mac on, it will load those 1000's of fonts!

To get the Original SanFransisco Font to Photoshop or anywhere else:

  1. Go to your Finder and press Shift+Cmd+G
  2. Type in: /System/Library/Fonts/ and click on open.
  3. Select SFCompactDisplay-Black till SFCompactText-SemiboldItalic and Copy them.
  4. Go to your Downloads Folder, create a new Folder called "SF" and paste the selected fonts in.
  5. Open up your Font-Collection App.
  6. Click on the Plus button at the top bar.
  7. Select every Font in the "SF" folder which you have created before and click on open.
  8. Delete the "SF" folder, so you don't have to mess with it anymore.
  9. Enjoy the font and create great designs.

The Fonts are called

"SF Pro Display" and "SF Pro Text"
