adding fonts in illustrator

Hello, I'm new to illustrator and I'm trying to figure how to add new fonts to the typotheque. I use a PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I don't know exactly how fonts are managed in windows, but sometimes the main use of the fonts folder will not help. Lately, I have had success copying the fonts in:

C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Adobe\Fonts

they would then be available in the menu fonts in Illustrator: you must pay attention to their extension .afm, OTF .pfm...

  • The fonts in Illustrator are swoop for use with a laser engraving? If not, how do I convert a font for a single path... not an overview of the police?

    The fonts in Illustrator are swoop for use with a laser engraving? If not, how do I convert a font for a single path... not an overview of the police?

    "I try to avoid cutting each line twice.  This is double the cost.

    I hear you. I was there for more than 30 years.

    There are very few single line fonts. And most of the people is the property of specific burning software (i.e. the TTF or OTF fonts). Apart from these burning programs, what had to happen is for a foundry of fonts specifically design a single font. And, from what I've heard of these smelters (for the last 30 + years), the market is too small. I'm not saying that they are correct, it's just that it is their perception.

    Good luck

  • characters from fonts in illustrator 5 is not preview in the yosemite

    How can I preview my fonts in Illustrator CS5 on Yosemite? Is there a solution?

    Patrick,

    I think that it can fix:

    Open system preferences and go to accessibility. Then select display in the source on the left side list, then check the box transparency reduced.

    It was introduced in this #15 post by TheUlser:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/message/6854594#6854594

    It has been described on this page from Adobe:

    http://capitalmacservice.com/font-preview-working-Illustrator-CS-5-Yosemite-fix/

    It may also depend on the monitor, as shown in the message #29 by Loncar in the same thread.

    Of course, this also affects other things so there can be a downside to it.

  • How can I import my fonts in illustrator?

    How can I import my fonts in illustrator? Seems that its only gives me the option to import via Typekit. But I want to use my old fonts or new downlaoded.

    And those that you have downloaded or purchased were placed in the MacHD/Library/Fonts folder? You can try putting them in MacHD/Usere /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts. Restart the computer and then HAVE and see if they come. Users /library is hidden so Google to find.

    You have double-clicked on the Style of Normal character to open it and then to the base line character Formats in the left box, made the changes you want, and then he said OK.

  • Problem with navigation of the fonts in Illustrator

    HI, I just downloaded a large number of fonts to use for a logo design for free
    I have never had any real problems with the fonts in Illustrator (I use CS4 on PC)

    but some (10%) of these (new) fonts does not work properly in illustrator (works fine in Flash, InDesign and Photoshop)
    which means that when I browse through fonts it often happens that the selected font jump to the police either first or last in the system
    (which is really boring and steals a lot of time)
    I know I could do the (very) hard and simply eliminate a police every time I meet the problem, but it would be extremely time-consuming
    (I have about 3000 fonts now, 30-40 are commercial fonts, the rest are free fonts, downloaded from the web).

    ideas, solutions, comments?


    NOTE: 'Normally' I use Flash to browse the fonts for these types of jobs (is the best and don't crash, jump or spoil)
    but it would be great if I could work with illustrator too (what I sometimes when you use categories with many filters/effects)

  • Strange font in Illustrator CS6 format save as box?

    Hi guys

    Recently I had to replace my drive hard so today, I was reinstalling the software.

    The hard drive has been replaced by Apple which has also updated my IOS to Sierra.

    Since then, I have reinstalled suite design CS6 and in Illustrator I noticed my fonts within the area of the promotion of Illustrator are different, and in some cases they are not!

    I have attached a screenshot.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled CS6, but it has not fixed the problem.

    Is this a compatibility issue?

    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for your help guys - this is certainly a problem of compatibility with CS6 and Sierra - reinstalled CS6, but it has not fixed the problem. Then I reinstalled El Capitan and the question is no longer there. Looks like it's the end of the line for updates to Mac OS and CS6 - always very satisfied with how it works on El Capitan, so no need to upgrade the software immediately!

  • Police Explorer Pro do not activate only the fonts in Illustrator...

    I have problems with the EFF no activating fonts in Adobe Illustrator (Creative Suite, 2015, most recent version) and using version 5.0 of the EFF and OSX Yosemite (10.10.5).

    I tried the following: records of system fonts own, own folder of fonts organized, clean system, clean Application Font Caches Font Caches, update a Spotlight database, optimize the database, and also open the program manually via the FontExplorerXLauncher - 3.app file.

    None of them have made a difference. EFF * fact * disable scoped in InDesign.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Check with Linotype if the EFF is already compatible with Illustrator.

  • I have a font but Illustrator refuses to select it in!

    I need to use a specific font (Nanum Gothic Extra Bold) for a certain project. Illustrator knows I have the police: if I start typing the name in it, autocompletes. But once I hit the return, it selects a different font. And the police does not appear on the list.

    Which is wrong and how can I have access to this policy?

    Hello

    Open the preferences and under the Type tab, check Show asian options and Show font names in English .

    After that, it shows extra bold, bold and regular. Hope that helps you and all those in the future.

  • Fonts in Illustrator/PDF files do not appear as they do in MS Word

    Hey gang, I've created a few docs in Word format with the help of a font Times New Roman size 12 points. I copy and paste the word text in Illustrator, or select the same font properties in Illustrator and the type from scratch, the fonts on-screen and copies in PDF is more condensed and therefore creates different line breaks (about 3 words per line less) than the version of Word.

    Line breaks are an easy solution, of course, but I prefer the appearance bigger, richer version of MS Word. I have incorporated other graphics so print a PDF directly from Word is not an option. How to set the font properties in Illustrator so that the police looks the same as the version of MS Word?

    I also noticed that the same font family does not options in italics. How is this possible a so common font like Times New Roman?

    Found and fixed the problem on my own. For some reason, the setting of the horizontal scale on the transferred MS Word fonts at a percentage less than 100%. Once I reset the whole paragraph, everything was fine. A couple of slightly modified kerning values required lines, but other than that, good to go. If anyone runs into this problem on other fonts, just check the values in the character Panel to make sure that the horizontal scale is correct.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) function 'Add Web fonts' does not not as expected - newly added fonts become unavailable as derivative

    Hello.

    This has also been posted in the community: forum Adobe Muse Bugs.

    I had some odd/irregular problems but they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The question is regarding Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of the web fonts provided through the functionality of the applications 'Add Web fonts '. Once added to perform as expected, then they become "unavailable." Details below. Was a complete creative cloud Subscriber for a few years, so I am quite familiar with the way the system works less some problems that have arisen at the time, including.

    System information:

    Adobe Creative Cloud (full subscription): Version 1.9.1.474

    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3

    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2

    Here's a summary of what took place. I will detail the bug as best as I can.


    1. creation of new Adobe Muse project. Everything is normal.

    2. has chosen to add a new font using the function 'Add Web fonts' in the Muse. A note, my creative application of cloud's race / open at all times (in the mode of file synchronization).

    3. has chosen the new fonts to help above. Everything seemed well (see screenshots below).

    Screen Shot 2015-04-03 at 8.53.05 AM.pngScreen Shot 2015-04-03 at 8.53.31 AM.png

    4 fonts were also indicated as being "synchronized" in Creative Cloud (screenshot below).

    Screen Shot 2015-04-03 at 8.56.12 AM.png

    5. as expected, the two fonts have been added to the list of available within the Muse Web fonts (first screenshot below - left). I added the successfully on my site. Well after that a number of hours, I went back to the same menu of selection of fonts within the Muse and the fonts was still visible but the submenu that you'd expect showing various forms (bold, italic, etc.) was not available. In a sense the police could not be selected in the list even if the name is clearly visible second screenshot below - right).

    Muse_font.pngScreen Shot 2015-04-03 at 8.54.39 AM.png

    Have no idea what can be wrong. Saved the Project Muse, closed, and then reopened - nothing has changed. Created new project - fonts always menu 'shows', but cannot be used. Find a vague description by using Google to a similar problem (different application) which recommended Creative Cloud Desktop App closing and reopening as a possible solution. It WORKED at first, but the problem, well fixed for a period of time (a few hours at most), will reappear again where we would see once again still not being able to choose two Web fonts. Went up to the Cloud to uninstall then reinstall Desktop creative application. Still not solved the problem.

    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restart the CC application whenever fonts are no longer available is quite a lot of time for my workflow.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for confirming. Yes, we are aware that some users are facing this problem, but have not been able to replicate this internally. We're going to keep studying.

  • Active fonts in Illustrator?

    So, in general, when I activate a font (using FontExplorer), I am able to jump into Illustrator CS6 and use it immediately.

    Now, I have to restart Illustrator, every time.

    Boring.

    Started by week or two there, what can I check?

    Zerflin,

    You can try to move the folder with Illy closed (reversible), or just Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (irreversible) to reset the preferences.

  • Can I use Web fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop?

    I would use some of the web fonts for a customer project but I need to be able to have the fonts available for me in Illustrator and Photoshop and Dreamweaver and Muse.

    I am a subscriber of full creative cloud and need to have a full integration in all of all or most of the products.

    Thanks in advance for the help

    2015 update: you can certainly install Google fonts.
