CC fonts question

[Trains1985]

Will Adobe ever discontinue any of their fonts introduced after the invention of Creative Cloud?

Back when we were using Creative Suite, I would have to deliberately transform text into paths, using the "Create Outlines" tool, to permanently disable Adobe from discontinuing them as fonts, that may be needed at a later date. I am still having problems with fonts having become nothing more than dead links.

Since Adobe licenses some of the fonts in Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit) from other foundries, this might happen.

Thanks for the honesty!

Is my method the only practical technique, to keep one's work looking the way he/she originally wanted in the first place? This is an issue that is very prevalent when working with InDesign, if not more so - very frustrating.

Outlining fonts might not be the best idea.

When necessary you might need to license fonts differently (the old perpetual way). Several font foundries still offer that model.

You might also ask over in the Adobe Fonts forum about the risk of the font being discontinued.
