Hello, I was just about to finish the desugn of my book in beautiful Garamond, when I found out Garamond wasn't sustained anymore, just one day before my deadline. Is this how things work in In Design? Out of the blue, overnight? Without announcement?

It may well be that you have an old, Type 1 font set — and Type 1 font sets were completely deprecated in 2023 after some five years of warnings. All you need is any TTF/OTF font set instead, and Adobe still offers several right in the Adobe font pool.

 

Simply install whichever one is the closest fit for your taste. You probably want Adobe Garamond but there are others.

Hi James, I don't think Type 1 font set was the problem, because I use
Adobe Garamond Pro. I think the problem was that I opened the document when
I was on the train, while not being connected with the internet. Now that
I'm home everything is okay. Does that make sense?
Best,
Willem

If you're using an Adobe Fonts font from your CC subscription, it may or may not be available while offline unless you've specifically downloaded and installed it. (I'm a little hazy on the fine details, as I rarely use CC fonts and never without a net connection!)
