Google fonts suddenly breaking in InDesign and Illustrator CS6

Hi,

Since last week I'm having issues with some Google fonts (Montserrat and Nunito). I have been able to work just fine with them in the past, but all of a sudden they no longer display. When I deinstall the fonts and reinstall them, they start displaying again, but after rebooting my pc the issue returns.

Does anybody know what's going on? And what I can do about it?

Thanks!

    OS, InDesign version?

    From where did you download the fonts?

    Windows 10 and InDesign CS6

    I downloaded them from the Google fonts website

    I have been working with these fonts for months with no problems

    And, reinstalling the fonts today didn't solve it... fonts are not displaying. They are visible in the fonts list, but are not found when asked for

    Oo ah yes, let me try that.

    [...]

    Yes, sorry, it keeps on working. I wasn't really expecting it not to; I looked into it and it is a perfectly normal OpenType font. If this one fails, then all OpenType fonts would be suspect.

    A question: you mention InDesign and Illustrator. What about other software? (Both Adobe and non-Adobe.)


    I am having the same issue with MAC for at least 6 months.. Did anyone find any solution?
