How can I use the VAG font in Illustrator?

Having recently switched from CS6 to the cloud- I'm unable to use the VAG font. Several older projects of mine use VAG! Yikes! Can you help me solve this problem? A gazillion thanks!

Thanks! I'd happily buy new fonts. I wasn't aware of that option.
So - buy non-otf font versions? Sorry I'm so unclear on this font stuff! can you tell me where I could buy that?


You should buy OTF versions of the fonts.

A quick search showed the VAG rounded on Myfonts and on Fontshop.

Is that a PostScript Type 1 font? Tey are no longer supported.

Monica, thanks for your reply. But - is it possible to help me understand this? What is a postscript font - and how are people working around this? Surely there have to be MOBS of eople who use them.

And most of all - WHY would Adobe do this?

Does Canva support them? Again, thanks!

If you want to keep using that font and not update the font files (which would mean buying new fonts), then that's your only choice. Version 2022 should do.

 

You could check if that font is available in Adobe Fonts.
