Hi @nerf64 :

Two thoughts:

Take a look at the Control panel. When in Character view (the A button ), it will list the Typeface and the Style. If either of them is shown in brackets, it means is not available. Sometimes it is one, sometimes the other. In my screenshot, both are missing. The pink highlighting on the page is meant to get your attention, but the brackets specifiy exactly what the issue is.
You activate fonts accessed through fonts.adobe.com with your CC subscription. If you are having a hard time activating them in InDesign, got to http://fonts.adobe.com and try activating them through the browser. You install fonts obtained through other sources.

Once I opened the document again it shows up highlighted pink and I cannot pin the font to my favorites even though it is activated.
