Windows 11 and InDesign 17.3

True Type font is installed for Windows, InDesign can't find it. What are the troubleshooting steps to resolve this?

Thanks.

Correct answer BobLevine

When you installed the font did you install it for all users? Did you try putting it into the InDesign\fonts folder?

What is the font exactly, and where did you get it from?

I have ongoing issues with multiple fonts. To name only a few:

Minion Pro Regular
Palatino Lt Std Regular
Century Bold
Miller Text Bold
another font whose name starts with a B and which Adobe says is a bad word which I am not allowed to use.
every day I discover new ones that are not working.

Most of them I own, have owned since before I started this job 14 years ago. This is following an upgrade to a new PC with Windows 11.

The only thing that works is putting them in a Document fonts folder in the same folder as the document. But I now have Document fonts folders all over the place. This is a clumsy workaround, not a solution.

That thing marked as the Correct Answer does not mean this has been resolved.

YES I installed for all users

YES I installed it into the Program Files / Fonts folder

YES I installed it in the C:\drive Windows\Fonts folder

YES I put a Document fonts folder in the same location as the file itself

YES I deleted, shut down, rebooted, reinstalled

YES I did all the things.

Still, some fonts do not work.

None of these suggestions worked. Please advise further steps.

No. Youre response mentioned an Adobe InDesign 2022 folder. There is no InDesign folder, only files.

Folders are for Acrobat DC, Creative Cloud (the font folder in there tells which fonts the Creative Cloud application itself is to use), and Adobe Illustrator 2022.

>> There is no InDesign folder, only files.

The icons are not all standard, but every item in that screen shot is a folder. It even says so on the right side of the window.
