InDesign Font issues

[SALAI Exotic Mushroom]

I use Indesign with work, and today I came in after the weekend, reopened my ongoing project in InDesign, only to find tons of text highlighted in pink and a prompt to change my fonts. I have no idea why, as the fonts in question, my entire Roboto and Roboto Condensed font trees, are installed on the computer, through Adobe fonts mind you, and when I went to adobe fonts to confirm them, they were all still active. Deactivating and reactivating them, and deactivating and reactivating them followed by restarting indesign all did no good, and I both like the fonts, and used them for a ton of small specialized texts (page number footers, headings, etc) that I don't want to go through the whole thing redoing.

I also just have no clue why only these random fonts are screwed, while my Roboto Slab, Roboto Mono, and several other Adobe Fonts-sourced scripts are perfectly fine, hence it is not an issue with Adobe Fonts.

OS? Version of InDesign? Do you use a font manager?

We've seen a number of similar reports of font problems when multiple versions of the same font from differnt sources are installed, particularly if installed in multiple locations.

When I've gotten sideways down the font hole, sometimes only a restart of my computer will fix it. If you're using Suitcase, run File / Clean Font Caches. If you're not using that as a font manager, I like Onyx as a clean up app for monthly cleaning.
