How to fix fonts not showing up in Adobe software (Even though they're installed)

[jonathanhowells]

Thanks for this - solved the problem on a Mac too! The folder is not called Common Files on a Mac, but Application Support > Abobe. I created a folder inside there called Fonts, dragged in a copy of the fonts that weren't loading properly (in After Effects in my case - strangely they had been working fine before this work around in Illustrator and Photoshop) and then magically, they finally were showing up in After Effects. Thanks for the tip

It really is impossible to do the simplest thing in Adobe Premiere without some kind of issues like this popping up. Thank you!

This trick is insane. I went nuts the past 2 days trying to make it work with just Windows Fonts...This is so simple and works like a charm. Thanks so much for this video because all the official help forums from the big companies are as always a major pain in the a** if you ever encounter problems like these.

You're a lifesaver! I suddenly noticed this issue with the Jazz Ball font while working in Illustrator. I absolutely had to use the regular weight for a project but "bold" was the only option. Wasted a good 2 hours of my life trying to find a solution until I finally came across this video! Thanks so much!

Summer 2022 you're still saving lives. Well done my man!

Thank you, so much. Amazing how no one on the Adobe forums were helpful. All the pro's avoiding any help that might blur licensing permissions.

you rule!!!! i had this problem with the asimov font family. 17 variations inside the family and i could only see & select the Oult. It nearly drove me crazy! Now thanks to you i can see and select all the options. Huge thanks and i wish you the best day ever !! Greetings from Greece.

Premiere Pro just started doing this with a required font for a client, literally saved me a ton of headache and time. Thanks for posting this!

WORKED!! Hours wasted on a job and this solution worked like a charm!

[JamieAshman]

Thank you! This simple fix solved a nightmare I was having on 'print day'! It worked for me on Windows 10 and for my ancient copy of Illustrator CS4.

First, thank you for this video! Second, if using an older version of Adobe software (Illustrator CS4 in my case), you'll need to place the fonts in a different location. Instead of "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\" try (replace username in brackets with your actual username).

[Vagmodrising]

Thank god! after years (13) of desperation for not being able to use large family fonts finally i have the ultimate answer, those idiots at Adobe Support Community NEVER give the correct anwer and close threads saying "oh its maybe a problem of your windows, go and ask to bill gates or buy a new computer" from here i will have a life complete i have reach peace

[MDHammond]

Thank you! It's been bugging the hell out of me that one font I installed at the same time as a dozen others just wasn't being read. Life-saver!

I have exactly the same problem with Premiere and After Effects. Source Sans Pro is installed evrywhere but Regular and some others aren't showing up. Light and Semibold are fine. Then I found you're video and was so happy to see that someone could solve the problem. Unfortunately it didn't do it for me. Installed it in the programs-folder, the programs (x86) and even in the Roaming folder like it was mentioned in another comment below. The Adobe programmers seem to have screwed something else up in the 2023.1 build. So I have to look for others ways. Will come back and report if I found a way. - - - - - - - - Edit: Seem to have found a way. Not sure which one it was. Had several versions of the Adobe programs installed. Deinstalled them. Did restart the PC. Check in the Windows Fonts folder for the Font. Found some. Deleted them and reinstalled just the one, I was missing. And (I suspect that might have done the trick) I put it into the folder Let's hope it still works tomorrow. Edit 2: No it doesn't. The font is showing up in the dropdown menu but I can't write anything in it. This is getting way more than annoying. #adobe Edit 3: Got it working again, at least for the moment. Under the path: is a folder called User Owend Fonts. There the font was missing. Hopefully it's the solution now. Will keep editing this comment, if it goes down the hole again. Edit 4: Now, a few weeks later it was gone again. Now I just did, what is described in the video above (deactive fonts in Adobe Cloud and then reactivate it) and it showed up again . I guess this time it worked for me because I did all the previous steps.

Thank you for the help. I had hoped that this would fix my issue using another program, it did not, but it did give me an idea.
By remaking the font using a site, I was able to re-install the new version and my program was able to read it. So this video helped me indirectly. Thanks!

You're a god among men, the hopelessness this bizarre problem gave me when I realised I had no idea what to do, to the pure relief after I tried this and it worked... my god thank you for bothering to record this and upload it
