Install Fonts In Adobe Indesign

Mac OS 8, 9 and Mac OS X Classic

Many previous Adobe software products, including the Creative Suite, have included Adobe desktop fonts which are installed in the user’s system folder. Today, these bundled fonts have been replaced by desktop fonts delivered by Adobe Typekit. Some applications, like Adobe InDesign, make it easy to quickly identify missing fonts. Nov 17, 2015  Solved: I have Windows 7 Professional and InDesign 5.5, version 7.5.3. How do I install new fonts in InDesign?

Installing your Type 1 or OpenType .otf fonts on Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 or Mac OS X “Classic” requires ATM Light 4.6 or later (4.6.2 for Mac OS X Classic).

If you are running Mac OS X, decide if you want to install fonts into both the Classic environment and the OS X native environment. If you want your fonts to be accessible to both Classic and Carbon/native applications, install your fonts into the Classic environment. If the fonts only need to be accessible to Carbon/native applications, install into the OS X native environment instead.

Note: Do not move an entire folder containing fonts into the System location. The Mac OS can only read font files that are loose in the system font location; it can’t read files inside another folder.

To install your fonts using a font management utility (e.g., Extensis Suitcase, Font Reserve, FontAgent Pro or MasterJuggler), refer to that utility’s documentation for instructions on adding and activating the fonts.

If you are using ATM Light without a font management utility. use the following instructions to install the fonts:

  1. Before installing your fonts, quit all active applications.
  2. Locate the fonts you want to install on your hard drive, or go to the location you downloaded the fonts to. Each font package or collection will be in its own folder.
  3. Install your fonts in the System Folder:Fonts folder by moving or copying all the font files from their individual font folders into the System Folder:Fonts folder. For PostScript Type 1 fonts, this includes both the outline font files (red A icons) and the font suitcases. Often a family of outline fonts will be associated with a single font suitcase. OpenType .otf fonts are single-file fonts, and do not include font suitcases.
  4. The fonts are now installed and will appear in the font menus of your applications.

Getting creative with fonts is one of the most fun and rewarding aspects of using InDesign, but every once in a while you encounter font-related problems that make you want to give up your typographic efforts and set everything back to Minion Pro.

Hold up! Before you take drastic action, consider trying these troubleshooting tips for dealing with common font issues and see if you can sort out the problem quickly and easily..

Solution #1: Search for Missing Font Styles

You might have a font that’s not displaying correctly, or seems to be unavailable in your drop-down menu of fonts in InDesign (accessible from the Character Formatting Controls panel at the top of the workspace).

Even though you initially seemed to install the font successfully onto your Windows or Mac system, the font might not be showing up in InDesign for a number of reasons.

The first possible reason is that the font is hiding in InDesign’s menu somewhere, but not in the place you’re looking. If you install a certain style of Arial, for example, say a Black weight, and can’t find it under the usual ‘Arial’ drop-down menu, InDesign may have categorised it as a different font family, and it may be lurking somewhere else in the menu.

Try typing ‘A-r-i-a..’ etc when you access the font drop-down menu to prompt InDesign to search the full range of options available in the menu.

Solution #2: Check Out InDesign’s Font Folder

The second reason for a missing font is that the font hasn’t been placed correctly into your InDesign Font Folder during installation. InDesign maintains its own font folder that is distinct from your computer’s default font folder.

You can navigate to your InDesign Font Folder by following these paths (CS5 and earlier):

Windows: Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts

Mac OS: Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts

You can manually drop font files in here to be able to use them instantly in your InDesign documents. You don’t even need to install them to be able to use them—they will appear instantly in InDesign’s font menu.

Another possible reason for missing fonts, if you’re using InDesign CC, is that Adobe Typekit hasn’t successfully synced your selected fonts to your desktop. If this is the case, check your internet connection, and verify that you are successfully signed in to Creative Cloud. Typekit will sync fonts automatically when the conditions are right.

Solution #3: Identify a Corrupt Font File

If your font is still not showing up in InDesign’s drop-down menu or existing text is being replaced with a substitute font in InDesign, and you can’t solve the problem with Solution #1, above, then you may be dealing with a corrupt font.

This is frustrating, as this is usually an issue with the source file and not your software, but there are some actions you can take to solve the problem.

Firstly, look for alternative places from which to download the font file. Did you download it from a questionable website? Take a look on Google to see if you can find any alternative places to download the font from. You might find that just the original version of the font that you installed was corrupt.

It’s true, however, that sometimes free fonts are free for a reason—some of them can be riddled with corruptions and errors, and haven’t been designed for use across a wide range of systems. Why not look into finding an alternative font that achieves a similar typographic look? Search for ‘similar fonts to [name of font]’, or try out Identifont. You might find something you like even more!
