Where does Adobe Fonts (aka Typkekit aka Creative Cloud Fonts) store fonts on my Mac?

When a font is activated through Adobe Fonts, where does it get stored on my computer?

And why doesn't it show up in Font Book?

Background: I recently ran into a situation where I was trying to verify that my CSS @font-family tags were working correctly. I opened Font Book to verify that I did NOT have the font already installed, then proceeded to open my HTML file in Chrome. Everything looked great! But it turned out that I DID have the font installed via Adobe Fonts. So my test was invalid and unfortunately my tags were not setup correctly.

Solution

  • The fonts are located on your machine in the following folders:

    Mac: /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/plugins/livetype/.r

    Windows: C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\plugins\livetype\r

    You likely need to make sure you can see hidden/invisible files.
