Avenir Next Bold .ttf font style showing as missing Windows 10

This font issue seems to be originating in Adobe programs on Windows 10. I was given a file from a Mac version of Adobe Illustrator. I have worked between Windows and Mac and back again on a weekly basis at my previous job and font recognition has not been an issue.

 

The file that was given to me was a packaged file with a "Fonts" folder containing multiple .ttf and .otf fonts which I installed on my Windows 10 PC. The Avenir Next font family was packaged in a .ttc file which I have never seen before.

 

After installation on my PC it says that there are 12 font faces and it shows up when I go in the folder in Settings and in Control Panel.

But when I go into the AI file I was given, all of the font family shows up except for Avenir Next Bold, which it shows as missing. This is true in every Adobe program I have tried ie. Photoshop, and InDesign so far.

This is incredibly frustrating and upsetting especially because I emailed the person who sent me the file and they said that they sent me all the fonts I would need.

 

I would appreciate some help as this job is incredibly important to me if I am going to be able to work from home on a Windows PC.

 

Thank you in advance.

    Thx @Ton Frederiks , I wish I found this answer a lot sooner. This also worked for me and its great to know that is how I can get Illustrator to find a font. Does this also work for other Adobe products?


    As far as I know, it also work in InDesign.

    Good to hear that worked for you.

    A Fonts folder inside the application folder is the first place where Illustrator will look for fonts, but these are only usable in Illustrator.

      You could try to create a folder named Fonts in the Illustrator application folder and put the font file in that folder.

      I don't have access to a Win PC, so I cannot check it.

        Hi, I put it in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings\en_US\x64 folder, is this what you meant? It does not seem to have changed anything. Thank you for the reply though

          True type comes in different flavors. And there is a flavor which is Mac only.

          You need to get the font as an OTF or a Windows compatible TTF version.

            Thank you! I have looked very hard for an OTF version and it seems that every single TTF version I find is the Mac only version. Do you know how to convert between the types of fonts?
