Type & Typography

Does anyone know where I can find a Type 3 font (the .afm and .pfb) in the Garamond typeface with all 4 styles (normal, bold, italic and bold italic)?Thanks!

For years now I've been using a program called AMP Font Viewer. It temporarily installs fonts onto the operating system upon request, and removes them upon quitting the program.It is super beneficial when you work on multiple projects with various typefaces, because the program allow the operating system to stay clean of project font files, keeping programs' loading time to a minimum, in a clean operating environment.Before CC, this program worked perfectly while Adobe's programs were running.CC, however, is preventing this program from running properly. When attempting to use AMP Font Viewer, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning loading icon, AMP Font Viewer goes ghostly white, and is unable to perform its job.To regain the control of installing temporary font files, I must kill all Adobe apps, i.e. Creative Cloud Client, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc. (but not necessarily background services).For me this issue is a major setback and an unpleasant surprise.I urge Adobe to avoid from lock

If I buy the font folio, can I use ' ITC AVANT GARDE' FONT in commercial in perpetuity?And if so, can I get any document work which includes 'Adobe give permission of use the font in commercial' or anything for guarantee our use?

If I use a desktop font from Typekit in an InDesign file and then convert that file to a PDF with Acrobat Pro, will that font be embedded in the PDF and available to all who look at PDF even if they are not CC subscribers?Thanks.Howard

I have a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud.I see a Fonts section on my CC app, but the adobe font I want isn't listed (Avenir LT Std).Must I purchase this?(I'm editing a document created in this font)Thanks,Amber

I have Myriad MM on my Macbook Air running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2. It works fine.I have validated the font with Font Book, and it says they are all ok.I have then tried to export the font with Font Book, and it gives me what appears to be a correct folder called "Myriad MM" with a font suitcase called "Myriad MM."I have copied that folder to the hard drive (Desktop) of my iMac running the same Mavericks OSX 10.9.2.When I open Font Book and use "Add Fonts" and select the Myriad MM folder I get an Error box for Font Validation that says:"Problems may have been found with some fonts during validation. Please review the reported problems before continuing."Under each of the Myriad Mm fonts it says "'FOND' font association usability."I did a Safe Restart and that did not seem to help.Any ideas? I need to use this font on my iMac!

A long time ago I owned and operated a small book publishing company and we licensed a bunch of fonts. Due to some very unique circumstances, the machines were mothballed and put in storage and ignored for nearly a decade. However, I am now in the position of needing to pull up documents and so forth from disks that no longer run ...ect .. and so forth. I'd like to link the set of licensed fonts to my current machine/id or else resurrect the old id. Any suggestions?thanks.

Hello,We have a copy of Adobe Font Folio purchased years ago, and the Adobe Type Basics folder on nthe disk contains no .pfm files, so we can't install those fonts. Is there a way to get the .pfm files from Adobe?

We are trying to use opentype fonts for general document editing in Word, but I found that the Word PDF save function does not render opentype fonts with postscript outlines (ie, the standard Adobe fonts), resulting in bitmapped text in the PDF. After a long discussion with Microsoft, it seems that Word supports only opentype fonts with truetype outlines. I've confirmed that this is the case with some opentype/truetype fonts but the complying fonts I've found are rubbish.Does anyone know if Adobe sells opentype/truetype fonts? Or would it be easier to convert our existing Adobe fonts using FontLab or TransType?Thanks

I want to set Warnock Pro Light as my default font (in Word and InDesign). However, when I use it and hit the keyboard command for Bold, it doesn't change to the semibold weight as I would expect--and as other fonts I have do. I hope someone here might be able to give me some insight into why this might be for this particular font. Thanks in advance.

We purchased the Myriad Pro font from Adobe for use in our mobile applications, web as well in general in our company.  We have used this font successfully for years.  Including in earlier versions of our iPhone and Android applications.  However, with Apple's release of iOS 7 the font itself isn't showing up properly and it is a problem with the font itself.  Apple has changed how this font is being handled or as they may describe it they are no longer correcting for the font in the same way. They no longer handle the "linegap" property "ascender" and "decender" elements the same way.  Though Apple may describe it as they are not correcting for this font as they did previously in earlier iOS versions.  There is more discussion on this webpage and we have even attempted to modify the font ourselves using techniques shown on this webpage with some limited success: http://tinyurl.com/6drlln3Though we shouldn't be modifying the font ourselves since we aren't

Hi,I need to select a few fonts for our client to choose from that can be legally embedded into their software for distribution.After reading this article:http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2011/06/06/fonts-and-where-can-i-use-them/it sounds like there is an Adobe 'Font Folio Select' that contains fonts we can use but I can't find any information about where to get hold of it.I have spent hours hunting for fonts we can legally use and read lots of EULAs and still have no idea what fonts are available to developers!Any help would be greatly appreciatedThanks

The top menu bar and the panels are showing the wrong font in all of the applications. The submenus are fine. I needed to remove another application, and I'm guessing it took the required font(s) with it. Is there an easy fix to get those menu fonts back? I'm using Windows 7.Thanks!Chuck

Well, as the question suggests, I am trying to figure out if you get a full version of Typekit with your CC subscription (monthly) or the trial version and have to purchase a separate subscription (yearly) for Typekit. Nowhere that I can find is this specifically answered at Adobe.com. And no one at Adobe seems to be sure (talked to 6 people today and got a variety of answers and transfers to other departments).While I have you, I also wanted to know if the fonts through Typekit are imbedded in your web project and upload with the project to your webspace or does the website have to draw the font from Adobe.com? If anyone has a link to a thorogh explanation of Typekit (not the Adobe one), I would love to read more about it. Review article?In our situation we are using an outside vendor to create a website. We will host it but want to remain completely legal regarding type. Does the vendor have to have a Typekit subscription (or included in their CC subscription depending on the answer

hi, i just found a character miss-match in the font "garamond premier pro" regular (italic = fine).it´s the symbol PHI (U+03C6) and the letter phi (U+03D5) they are mixed up. i know there are several variant forms of the symbol "phi" - but they should be consistant in one fontfamily.

Hi,I just downloaded and installed the Sonata Standard OpenType file via FontBook in MacOS 10.9.2. So far the font is not working correctly in either MS Word or Apple Keynote -- I get standard qwerty letters rather than musical notation. Anyone ideas on how to fix/troubleshoot?Thanks!

Back in 2003 or 2004, I purchased the Hrabanus Type 1 font from Adobe. I registered the font and have the purchase and serial number in my account (although I don't know which one it was, as I bought a handful of fonts and all the list shows in my account is the date and the serial number, not the name).This was an early Type 1 font that only gave the .afm file, the .inf file, and the .pfb file.I've upgraded to Windows 7, and I cannot install this font on my machine. Right-clicking on the .inf file provides an option to install, but nothing happens when I do that.In my searches online, I've found that in order to install the font in Windows 7, I need the .pfm files (which the old Type 1 fonts used to build at the time they were installed, so they didn't include them).A discussion in the forum from 2012 indicates that Adobe is committed to supporting these old font purchases, here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056745Does anyone know how I go about getting the .pfm files for this

I have font that my company uses for music notation "TTKStava" which renders awesome vector notation for graphic use. Up until the CC update I was able to use it without issue. Now when I try to use it (I have added it and it shows up in the font list) everything seems normal until I try to actually type and the program defaults back to Myriad Pro. I've tried it from every angle and haven't been able to use it. It's pretty crucial that I have this working moving forward so any help/suggestions you could give would be awesome!Working on a macbook pro 2014 retina, Mavericks 10.9.2-Kyle

I've had CC membership for a few months now and have downloaded it onto first a laptop then a desktop. I'm having trouble on the desktop. When I try to access and download typekit fonts through an application or creative cloud, I'm getting a message come up saying "internet explorer has stopped working" and the typekit website does not open properly. I'm therefore unable to access or browse for fonts. The typekit website does not respond and a message comes up saying so. Using windows 8 I can access internet explorer through the Apps page, and browse fonts that way, but it is frustrating and inconvenient not being able to go direct to the website through an adobe application or through creative cloud. Anyone ideas why? Appreciate any help, thanks.

I just purchased Trade Gothic Roman font via Adobe.com and when I downloaded it, it was just regular Trade Gothic

We have a situation where our identity font is displaying terribly in MS Word 2010 on Windows 7. The font looks great in InDesign and Illustrator. The font family is OpenType with PostScript outlines, aka CFF. This behavior is consistent for any OpenType font from Adobe, such as Myriad Pro or Adobe Garamond.I am nearly certain that the Windows font rendering engine is optimized for TrueType outlines and renders PostScript outlines poorly. I also think that Adobe is using a different rendering engine for the Creative Suite applications, perhaps their own. I have not been able to find any specific documentation of these statements.Does this ring true? Does anyone know of specific documentation of poor font rendering in Windows applications, especially MS Office?

Hi,I have a question concerning the commercial usage of the fonts incorporated in Illustrator. Is it legal to use  them (after converted into outlines) for creating stock vectors and then selling them on stockphotos/designs web pages? If I have purchased the product itself, do I have to purchse also the embedded fonts separately in order to create files for commercial purposes? I would be grateful if you could provide me a clear and concreate answer. I have been searching for a month to get a response and I haven't found it yet. Thank you very much for your precious help.
