Hello! I purchased my own font and uploaded it to AI. I played with it once and it worked well, however, lately every time I type it changes my font to Myriad Pro which has been frustrating! I tried changing my font to to default but still to no avail. Please help thank you!

Tenebras. A font that was purchased from a third party.

The Art Deco font? Did you contact the third party about your problem?


I have not because it was working a few days ago, therefore I do not think its an issue from their part. Also, it is a file. Give me a second, I will add screenshots on how I tried doing the New Document Profiles.

What do you mean by "I purchased my own font and uploaded it to AI."?

Did you install it the regular way into your system?

Do you want your font to be the default font?

To make it the default font you have to create a new document, change the font in the [Normal Character Style] to your font and save the document with a recognizable name to your desktop.

Copy the file to the New Document Profiles folder.

Use this preset when creating new documents and your font will be the default.

You may also save the file with your customized character style as an Illustrator template (.ait) and open that template when you want to create a new file with your default font.

Yes, I purchased my font from a 3rd party and installed it into my laptop. Yes, it was installed the, "regular way."

I do not want my font to be default necessarily. My issues is I select my font and when I begin to type it changes to Myriad Pro. I would like for it to stop changing to that font and for it to stay on the selected font I chose.
