Roboto font (by Google) is installed on Windows 7 system, but the regular weight is missing in Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign (both CS6 and CC, and same issue in Windows 8).

The font: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/roboto

All weights are installed properly, the only one not listed in adobe programs is Roboto-Regular.ttf

This cache move makes Roboto Normal Italic available in every Adobe app but XD. The latter program just shows a totally wrong list of Roboto weights, even the ones I deleted. even after repeated re-boots and attempts.

I fixed the Roboto 2014 fonts. They did indeed misbehave in desktop apps (Windows, OS X).

Enjoy!

ROBOTO 2014 FONTS (version 2.000980)

Licensed under the Apache License.

CHANGELOG 2014-10-14

  • TTF and OTF: corrected and converted with FontLab TransType 4
  • WEBFONTS: converted from OTF source with FontSquirrel
  • All fonts: correctly set the (style map) Font Family name to avoid conflicts in most desktop software. Maximum four fonts can share the same Font Family name.
  • Black + Black Italic: correctly set Font weight (usWeightClass) to 900.

NOTES 

  • The OTF fonts have better antialiasing on Windows, and are slightly more compact in file size. Apart from that, they render exactly the same (line spacing, kerning, ...).
  • There is an alternative weight 200 for the Light font, in case the weight 250 doesn't work for you.

    Roboto font have collision between regular & black weights.

    Don't install "Black" and Regular will appear as "Black".

    This is Roboto Regular

      Just installed it from here: http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html and it shows in all three CS6 applications. Why don't you try reinstalling it.

        Thanks, I tried it yesterday too, and it works. Strange thought, that Photoshop now named the regular weight as 'Black', but I don't have black weigth

        (I uninstalled previous Roboto fonts, and after that installed the mentioned roboto-1.100141 from http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html)

        I still don't know what is the issue here, but I can live without 'black' as now I haver regular. Thanks for the reply!
