I have a project that uses Roboto Black, but suddenly that font isn't working. It's activated, and it's actually showing up in my programs - but it's not Black, it's Regular.

Here's a screen of Roboto Regular on my system (this is Photoshop but it's doing this in ALL my CC programs).

And here is a shot of this type changed to Black:

You can see in this screen shot that even the preview is showing Regular in place of Black:

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Any way to fix this on my end?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can provide!

I found the issue. I had an older version of Roboto installed on my system, as well as the Adobe version. For whatever reason, at some point Ps defaulted to using the installed version instead of Adobe Fonts version. I uninstalled the fonts on my system, and the Adobe Font Roboto worked fine!
