Type-1 Fonts

Why on God's earth would Adobe drop being able to use Type-1 fonts?

WOW! Really?

Any sollutions? I mean after 30 years of T1 fonts - I hope they have a solution.

Hi Christopher

Lots of new devices, smartphones, tablets, computers, etc.  and operating systems are dropping the use of these fonts, so it makes no sense to keep supporting a font that won't be able to be read by modern OS, web browsers, smart phones etc. 

This decision was not Adobes, the entire digital market is moving away from this tech to more robust solutions.

Tell that to the printing industry. Let's drop printing all together. Who needs that?

You don't have to upgrade the software - you can keep an older version - I have all the way back to InDesign 2017 installed, I have 2018, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24

As time moves on - from this year forward, you'll receive less and less artwork with these fonts. 

And you can slowly replace fonts.

I mean, this news was revealed a few years ago in 2021
