Why are the Adobe (TypeKit) fonts I am syncing not showing up for use in Illustrator?

[srazi1234]

Hi there,

I am beyond frustrated right now.  But that's neither here nor there for anyone reading this so I will get to the point.

I have synced the TypeKit font, Tablet Gothic Wide to my Mac, but it simply won't show up as a font choice in Illustrator.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

Because the thread opener didn't care to mark the correct answer.

Have you read the complete thread and tried all the options it proposes? Does anything of it help?

This TypeKit thing is garbage. Fix this, Adobe.

Same here, the font syncing is on and they show up in Indesign but nothing in Illustrator.

Restart Program

Restart CC

Logout and Back in

Sync Button

Unsyncing and resyncing from typekit website

Checking for Updates

Saying "AAAAGGGHHGAGGAGHGH!" and gesturing madly at the screen.

Clicking every button ever

Messing with Font Book

What finally worked:

I restarted the computer and checked the CC app Assets/Fonts tab. FINALLY it says SOMETHING (before it was the "Get Started with Fonts!" screen).

It told me that it was trying to sync a duplicated font, so I went and unsynced that one from typekit, and now everything is working fine.

Hi I am trying to follow the instructions you gave but I cannot find the C C app assets / fonts tab. Could you tell me know how I can access that? Thanks!

None of these solutions are working for me. Everything is working except there is one specific variant of a font that shows up as active in Creative Cloud but in Premiere, the variant that I want doesn't show up. Why is there no easy solution for this problem? Does Adobe not understand that people use these applications for their jobs and that we shouldn't have to spend time-solving technical issues while we are clocked in? If Adobe products were never pushed onto me in college, I would search for an alternative so fast. I guess I will uninstall Premiere and reinstall it in hopes that will do something.

I wish I could spend my time creating artwork and doing my job rather than solving a new technical issue caused by an update every single time I open an Adobe product.

So your issue is with Premiere? This is the Illustrator forum.

There can't need to be a general solution, because there is no general issue. This is individual and caused by your system configuration.

I have no idea how to fix this. I've tried deactivating and reactivating and still none of my fonts show up on Illustrator...

I appreciate it, but that link is useless. Please look in it before you send.

The link is valid and it works.

"Useless" Indicates that I tried the options there.

[Monika Gause]

So you started to chat with them and then what happened?

This issue is infuriating and particularly prevelant in CC 2022.  I had CC running and signed in, adobe fonts enabled, syncing enabled, I followed every shred of troubleshooting advice available and *nothing* got the fonts in question appearing in my fonts directory in Indesign - EVEN THOUGH EVERY OTHER APP HAD THEM AVAILABLE. Reverting to InDesign 2021 was the only solve that worked for me.
