InDesign to PDF Playfair display font issues

Hi, I've been experiencing the same issue but with when saving PDFs from Illustrator.

Hi Serena,

known issue. Not with that font itself, but perhaps with a bug regarding InDesign 17.0,0 and 17.0.1.

What you can try:

[1] Uninstall the font from your system.

Reinstall it.

[2] Uninstall the font from your system.

Put the font files in the Fonts folder of the InDesign Application folder.

[3] Uninstall the font from your system.

Use a Document fonts folder with the font files to make them available with a particular InDesign document.

See here a list of links to discussions that reflect the same issue with a variety of fonts ( the list is growing every week )

More information please:

Where did you activate the font? at Adobe Fonts through your CC subscription? or Google? elsewhere?

Are you sure you only have it loaded from one place? (i.e. no conflicting copies)

Do you see the same issue in the pdf on your own computer? What does our PDF show for document Font Properties?

Did your client try to edit your pdf in any way?

etc etc

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the InDesign forum so that proper help can be offered.
