It turns out that they can but will not see any of the cool typography unless I turn all the text into outlines. One of the things I was looking forward to was to be able to show clients what are being made for them and Adobe talked about that the clients didn’t even have to have InDesign to browse though the design. I would really like to see a similar article about Creative Cloud file sharing. Maybe it is just great that designers have to do a little thinking about where the fonts they are using are coming from and there they are going to? Click on the page number on the right side of each listing to jump to that paragraph.Īs great it is to have TypeKit, it adds to various font license matters that designers have to take into account every day. In the Preflight panel, you will see each paragraph formatted with a Typekit font listed as a separate error. You will see an error at the bottom of the document window. Make sure that profile is active, and then whenever you add a Typekit font to a document, In the dialog box, choose TEXT: Font Types Not Allowed: Protected Fonts Then from the panel menu, choose Define Profiles (for more details of creating custom preflight profiles, see Kirsten Rourke’s article in issue 61 of InDesign Magazine). Just create or edit a preflight profile by choosing Window > Output > Preflight. Fortunately, InDesign can alert you whenever you add a Typekit font to a document, via the Live Preflight feature. Or, you can just avoid using Typekit fonts in projects that have to be packaged. So if you have to send your file for someone else to work on, they will need to have their own subscription and sync the same Typekit fonts themselves. They are “protected” fonts, stored in an invisible folder that you normally don’t have access to. However, Typekit fonts can cause you problems if your workflow involves packaging InDesign files to send to someone else, because these fonts cannot be packaged. By default, you can sync up to 100 fonts at a time, and you don’t need to be online to use the fonts once you’ve synced them (you do have to be online to un-sync them). Currently, you’re able to choose from over 1000 fonts (in over 350 families) to use in print, PDF, EPUB, and DPS projects. The ability to sync Typekit fonts is one of the coolest benefits of an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.
