Different Chinese fonts for Illustrator and InDesign

[nwshearman]

I'm using PingFang SC font in InDesign but when I go to Illustrator PingFang is nowhere to be found. In fact, Chinese fonts are romanised in InDesign but in Ilustrator they are in Chinese characters. Why is this, and how do I sync Illustrator's fonts so they are labelled in the same manner as in InDesign?

InDesign font menu on the left and Illustrator on right:

Try to set Preferences > Type > Show Font Names in English.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I agree with Ton's response here. In addition to that, I'd request checking out this help article to know more about formatting Asian characters in Adobe Illustrator.

Hope it helps.
