To add to the confusion I have gone and opened an old document (Document 3) where Font 1 is working fine, but a different one (Font 2 – also a google font) is not working, although it is active in Suitcase Fusion. I downloaded the trial for Extensis Suitcase Fusion 8 which is supposedly meant to work with CC 2018 but although the fonts are activated they are still not working in the document. When I copy paste between documents it is working in Document 2 but not Document 1. This is very weird because it works fine in another blank, unsaved document (Let’s call this Document 2). I've just noticed that one particular font - a google font (Let’s call this Font 1) – is not working in a document I’m working on (Let’s call this Document 1). I have in the past had the auto-activate plug in switched off, because it caused me problems, and in any case all my fonts are sorted by client / project so I am happy to do activate manually. I have until now been using Extensis Suitcase 5, which works fine for my needs. How do I stop that happening? (Apart from deactivating the local version) Is there some way to get CC to ignore individual fonts rather than automatically activating them? Or just completely disable automatic activation? If I disable Adobe Fonts completely in CC then it will use the local versions and there is no problem, but of course I would rather not do that.I've recently upgraded to InDesign CC 2018. This has also been an issue with other apps like InDesign and Illustrator.

I have discovered that CC Fonts is automatically activating CC duplicates of the Proxima fonts that are already installed on my system when I open the XD document thus creating a conflict. If I want to use 'Proxima Nova' somewhere else that font is missing from the menu: The fonts that have imported and are showing as they should get the full range of options in the Character pane: When I open the file in XD most weights of this font are showing but 'Light' is missing (for some reason) When I try to replace the missing font the replacement dropdown is greyed out In the Illustrator file fonts are showing as they should.

Fonts not reported missing are showing correctly but the font is not in the fonts dropdown menu.įor example I have a font on my system (not Adobe CC font) Proxima Nova. When I open an Illustrator file some installed fonts are reported missing in XD. I will stop using XD before I bother manually installing fonts into my fonts directory.

I have read XD might have a problem with font managers. I use a font manager to install fonts (Extensis Suitcase).
