It shouldn't matter if they make a couple nickels less on some of the fonts, do the right thing and add all the fonts. Not doing that is a HUGE disconnect to their business and supporting their long standing and LOYAL customers. Adobe needs to add all the fonts that they origanlly sold on their CDs onto Typekit. The Helvetica Neue kerning pairs were also much better than the base Helvetica, so tons of people migrated to Helvetica Neue when it was introcduced. Helvetica was and still is a terrific font for blocks of dense text and legal copy in documents. The bottom line is, I have YEARS worth of creative with tons of Helvetica and Helvectica Neue typesetting. I'm sure it has something to do with paying the type foundries royalties or some other sort of financial decision. They sold everyone their font CDs years ago, and not to have those same fonts available on Typekit has been and will continue to be a HUGE problem. Since I dont have Helvetica Neue LT Std installed on my computer systems, I tried using the function to change to the text from Acrobat to edit the text.
Not having Helvetica Neue on Typekit is a HUGE disconnect and something Adobe needs to correct. Helvetica has been the default font used on so much creative over the years, there's tons of artwork that was set in Helvetica and Helvetica Neue.
The closest you may come to the exact HelveticatNeue on the Macintosh may be available from Monotype or Linotype on-line at their web sites.Not having Helvetica continues to be a HUGE issue. In this particular case, having a slightly different name is probably for the best if you can't get the exact same font, because it will force you to look for any problems that the replacement font may cause (slightly different metrics, styles, etc.).Īs far as I know, Apple does not license its version of HelveticaNeue for use on other platforms and even if the font is in OpenType or Windows TrueType format and could be copied to a Windows system, you are probably in violation of the licensing conditions for that font under MacOS X. that share the same names, but are slightly different. There are hundreds of different variants of Helvetica, Times, Arial, etc. Note: You need to be connected to the internet and logged in to Creative Cloud desktop to activate missing fonts through Creative Cloud.
The name might not match exactly (actually, probably won't match exactly) and you may need to make adjustments in your document to use name of the font that you do license.įWIW, your experience is not uncommon. Use the checkboxes to choose the fonts you want to activate, and then click the Activate button to add them to your computer. Unless you get the font file itself from whoever created or last worked on the document and used that font (assuming that the font is either an OpenType or a Windows format TrueType font and that you can legally use the font), you may need to separately license Helvetica Neue from any one of the font foundries with a Helvetica Neue family.
