6/29/2023 0 Comments Typoking font kit![]() I’m disappointed not to have access to Typekit for desktop with my new Creative Cloud subscription, but fortunately, I have a little Samsung machine running Windows 8, on which can use Typekit without problems. I’ll just wait till I’m forced to buy a new machine which will have the new OS on it. that I’m simply not willing to give up the stability of Snow Leopard to have to deal with a slew of new OS issues. Some of the big advantages of Mountain Lion are not ones we can even use on older hardware (airdrop, mirroring), and I’ve read so many reports of high operating temps, annoyances with autosave, random slowdowns, reduced battery life, etc. I too have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an early 2009 Macbook Pro, and have been reluctant to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Here’s the result-a seemingly blank folder. I selected the font in the list and chose Reveal in Finder. After I placed some type in InDesign created with a Typekit font, I opened Type > Find Font. Of course, some of us like to look “under the hood” to figure out how this will work. We are currently exploring the best way to integrate Typekit desktop fonts with the packaging feature of InDesign and Illustrator. We want to make it as easy as possible for Typekit users to get their work to print bureaus or anywhere else. (Note that most existing font license agreements – including that for the Adobe Type Library and Font Folio – do not allow sending font files to third parties, unless that third party has their own license to the same font.) Print bureaus will be able to access desktop fonts through their own Creative Cloud or Typekit subscription, or you can create a PDF to transfer for print output. Q: How will that work when my print bureau requires me to send a packaged version of an inDesign folder?Ī: The Typekit Terms of Use do not allow copying or moving of font data that has been synced to your desktop computer. Here’s how the Typekit FAQ on Packaging currently reads: Unfortunately, while a Typekit font looks like any other font, it has some limitations: Officially, it cannot be shared with other people who are not subscribers to the Adobe Creative Cloud (you can also subscribe to the Typekit service by itself). Typekit fonts show up in your font menus just like other fonts. It’s also available not only in all the Adobe Creative Cloud applications like InDesign CC, Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC, but in other applications on your computer as well. When you click to download a font, or a family of fonts (usually limited to about four styles for desktop fonts at this time), it is “synced” to your computer and shows up in your list of available fonts. Under those choices are a list of some of the fonts I’ve synced from Typekit. ![]() ![]() Then the Fonts tab becomes available, and you have options to Browse Fonts on Typekit and Manage Fonts. When you are emailed your invitation, you’ll download a newer version of the Creative Cloud Desktop application you use to download applications, sync files, and so on. Adobe is now rolling it out slowly, but they’re encouraging those who’d like to try it out to apply for early access. Typekit for the Desktop was announced at the MAX Conference in May, but wasn’t available when Adobe Creative Cloud was updated in June. It’s very exciting to use these fonts for print, PDF and EPUB! Typekit fonts from a variety of font foundries have been available through the Creative Cloud for some time for use on websites. One which has excited me the most is the new ability to explore downloading Typekit fonts for the Desktop.
