Typeface Font Manager font embedding issue in Illustrator AI files

In looking for a new font manager I tried a trial of Typeface, but ran into an odd problem and wondering if anyone is successfully using it with Illustrator. I had the same issue with both the 2023 and 2024 versions of Illustrator. Typeface is for MacOS only. I'm running Sonoma.

The problem arises when Typeface auto-activates fonts. As I understand it, Typeface only makes the auto-activated fonts available for Illustrator and not system-wide. When I opened an Illustrator file, the fonts would be activated and all would look good in Illustrator, but when I save it as an "ai" file (PDF compatible), the fonts weren't embedding correctly. If I placed the "ai" file in InDesign, it was noticeable that some of the fonts were substituted. If I opened the "ai" file in Acrobat it was also clear that the fonts weren't correct, however Acrobat implied they were embedded in document properties. If I save the file as a PDF instead of "ai", the fonts embed fine. Also, if I manually activated the fonts wth Typeface instead of letting them be auto-activated, the fonts embed correctly in the "ai" file. 

In discussions with Typeface support, it appeared the issue was caused by the permission bits for the specific fonts. Fonts that were "Unrestricted" obvously worked fine, but I had issues primarily with fonts that were "Preview and Print". Of course, as mentioned, it's only when the fonts are auto-activated. A workaround, I suppose would be to save everything as PDF.

Anyway, I was going to purchase the app, but this problem made it unworkable for me. I'm trying other apps, but haven't been all that impressed with them. Although, I haven't had this problem with any other font manager. So, just wondering if anyone is successfully using Typeface and/or if they've also experienced this issue.
