- Getting creative with fonts is one of the most fun and rewarding aspects of using InDesign, but every once in a while you encounter font-related problems that make you want to give up your typographic efforts and set everything back to Minion Pro. Before you take drastic action, consider.
- Jun 19, 2019 In that scenario, my recommendation would be to fully remove those fonts from your system and reinstall them from scratch. Install the fonts from your source by right-clicking on the font file and selecting Install for All Users. Do Not use the Install option, a new feature of a recent Windows 10 versions which only makes the font visible to the user installing the font.
Im having issues with Adobe Indesign CC 2019 after upgrading to win 10 pro 1809. I have 5 fonts that arent recognized by ID even though other programs are. We wish this were one of our infamous April Fool’s Day jokes, but it’s not. At some point in the near past, sometime after InDesign CC was released, Adobe quietly stopped installing almost all the fonts that used to come with the program. Mike wrote that up here. At a time when Adobe has.

Adobe Indesign Fonts Missing
I think we’ve taken this topic as far as it can productively go here, so I’m going to close down the comments on this post and encourage folks who want to reply to Matthew and continue the discussion to use our forum on InDesignSecrets.com. I’ve set up a new topic there, “Adobe CC Fonts” (http://indesignsecrets.com/topic/adobe-cc-fonts) for this. You can also take advantage of Matthew’s offer to get in touch via Twitter.
Clearly, this post has touched a nerve with many InDesign users. We all want to feel respected as professionals and paying customers, and no one wants to see that hated Missing Fonts dialog box show up at the worst possible time. It’s my hope that a continued, constructive dialogue in the right channels will bring about the best resolution for all of us.
Mac OS 8, 9 and Mac OS X Classic
Install Fonts In Adobe Indesign
Installing your Type 1 or OpenType .otf fonts on Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 or Mac OS X “Classic” requires ATM Light 4.6 or later (4.6.2 for Mac OS X Classic).
If you are running Mac OS X, decide if you want to install fonts into both the Classic environment and the OS X native environment. If you want your fonts to be accessible to both Classic and Carbon/native applications, install your fonts into the Classic environment. If the fonts only need to be accessible to Carbon/native applications, install into the OS X native environment instead.
Note: Do not move an entire folder containing fonts into the System location. The Mac OS can only read font files that are loose in the system font location; it can’t read files inside another folder.
To install your fonts using a font management utility (e.g., Extensis Suitcase, Font Reserve, FontAgent Pro or MasterJuggler), refer to that utility’s documentation for instructions on adding and activating the fonts.
If you are using ATM Light without a font management utility. use the following instructions to install the fonts:
Install Fonts In Adobe Indesign 2017
- Before installing your fonts, quit all active applications.
- Locate the fonts you want to install on your hard drive, or go to the location you downloaded the fonts to. Each font package or collection will be in its own folder.
- Install your fonts in the System Folder:Fonts folder by moving or copying all the font files from their individual font folders into the System Folder:Fonts folder. For PostScript Type 1 fonts, this includes both the outline font files (red A icons) and the font suitcases. Often a family of outline fonts will be associated with a single font suitcase. OpenType .otf fonts are single-file fonts, and do not include font suitcases.
- The fonts are now installed and will appear in the font menus of your applications.
