Indesign 2020 15.1.1 no postscript font support on OSX anymore?

Hi,

Indesign 2020 15.1.1 no postscript font support on OSX anymore?

I use CC on OSX 10.13.6 HighSierra.  

Indesign ignore it! Can't load Postscript fonts ... no error! No font error! Very bad Adobe!!!

Greets,

There must be some other problem with the font, or with your setup. I'm having no problems displaying a PostScript (Type 1) font in InDesign 2020 15.1.1 and macOS 10.15.6 (Catalina). See below:

Try a different PostScript font, or place it in InDesign's application Fonts folder.

Hallo LordRaven,

Du versuchst die Schriften über ein Document fonts-Verzeichnis verfügbar zu machen.

Liegt dieses Verzeichnis im gleichen Verzeichnis wie die geöffnete InDesign-Datei?

Funktioniert die Bereitstellung der Schriften mit einer früheren Version von InDesign?

Teste das mal, indem Du eine IDML-Datei schreibst, die IDML-Datei mit InDesign version 14 oder vorher öffnest, ein Dokument mit neuem Namen in dem Verzeichnis speicherst, das das Document fonts-Verzeichnis enthält.

Wichtig: dann die Datei schließt und wieder öffnest, sodass InDesign die Chance bekommt, das Document-fonts-Verzeichnis auszulesen.

Gruß,

Hey Thanks a lot for the Answers.

I have solved the Problem!

Avenir is a Systemfont in High Sierra and the Font with more Signs win ...

I'm glad you figured it out!

Adobe announced end of support for PostScript Type 1 fonts. 

I work for FontLab, we make the eponymous FontLab pro font editor. We have also created TransType 4, an easy-to-use converter for macOS and Windows. A few days ago I made a video that shows you how you can use TransType to convert your obsolete (but still valuable) Mac or Windows PostScript Type 1 fonts into cross-platform OpenType PS (.otf) fonts that will work in all Adobe (and other) apps: https://youtu.be/j06_QuBwy7Y 

TransType is a good solution if your font’s EULA or your local law allows you to convert the font to a more modern format, and of course if you have Type 1 fonts for which OpenType versions are not available.

Doesn't using a tool like this run afoul of most typeface UELAs?
