The current Adobe Creative Cloud suite comes with a ton of fonts. While researching the easiest\/cheapest way to get a selection of fonts to use in projects and ad designs (other than the time honoured tradition of stealing them), I realized that if I am already paying for Creative Cloud then the 100+ fonts they offer in TypeKit for both print and web design were probably enough.<\/p>\n
The issue comes when you realize that the fonts disappear when the subscription ends and, while the theory is that I have to be paying for InDesign to open old projects anyway, not being able to archive the fonts makes me nervous. And it occurred to me for a computer to be able to use the fonts they had to actually be on my computer somewhere…didn’t they? So I went looking for a solution and lo & behold I came across dylanvalade.com\/post\/74649521957\/how-to-find-synced-typekit-fonts-on-your-computer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Essentially the solution is to go to Macintosh HD\/Users\/YOURNAME\/Library\/Application Support\/Adobe\/CoreSync\/plugins\/livetype\/.r\/<\/strong> and your fonts will be in this .r folder named FONTID.otf. Of course this is a hidden directory so for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion (contrary to Dylan’s instructions) you must go to Terminal and type in: To later make them all invisible again use: Then it’s the long process he describes to move and rename all the files. Finder won\u2019t let you change the folder or file names prefixed with a dot like a normal file. So after you copy the .r folder to a safe place on your computer, right click the copy of .r and select Get Info. Change the copied .r folder name to something else by expanding the Filename & Extension option. Then use Get Info<\/em> to rename each font you need to save offline. The name of the font can be copied (using cmd-C) from the Get Info window just above the Name & Extension box.<\/p>\n Simple…sort of.<\/p>\n Once you find the invisible files (cmd+shft+.) you can use some thing like transtype to convert them and that renames them and makes them visible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The current Adobe Creative Cloud suite comes with a ton of fonts.
