How Do I Add Font For Adobe Illustrator Mac
Installing fonts to Illustrator CS6 [closed] up vote -2 down vote favorite I have fonts on a CD and I want ot load them into Illustrator CS6 so that they will be permanently available when I am working in Illustrator. Hi I have been using illustrator for years on windows enviroment and just recently switched to mac. On the windows version of Illustrator CS2 you can preview different fonts on the desired text by justn placing the cursor on the font selection bar and then simply press the up/down arrows keys.
I remember there used to be a folder I could just put fonts in and they would work for Adobe InDesign. I thought it was a folder called fonts in the same directory the InDesign document was. I tried that for an Illustrator file. I created a folder next to the Illustrator file called fonts and put my fonts in there. How much is adobe animate. But Illustrator doesn't see the fonts.
I don't want to install the fonts on the system. Is there a simple folder I can put fonts into? Ideally the folder is next to the Illustrator file itself so that I can simply zip up the file and fonts folder and send it to people. I've always thought it a strange practice but, Adobe has provided it's own fonts directory going back a long way. Windows Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts Mac OS Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts I believe some font managers also allow you to activate a set of fonts based on application. -- update -- is my favorite font manager and apparently it has app-based sets (I knew I remember that from somewhere;) Activation control with application-based sets and font request view, but apparently InD has supported document-level activation since CS5: Fonts in a Document Fonts folder that is in the same location as an InDesign document are temporarily installed when the document is opened. Both CS5 and CS6 InDesign applications have implemented a new feature in attempt to 'simplify' font usage and activation (in InDesign).

The packaging process saves the INDD file, Links, Instructions and Document Fonts into the same parent folder (specified in Package process). The idea behind the new 'Document Fonts' feature is that anyone can open the INDD file and (if all the fonts used are in the Document Fonts folder) they should see ID automatically load all the fonts for use only in that document. So the fonts load, whether or not you have the fonts installed locally on that machine. The fonts loaded from that Document Fonts folder will appear at the top of the Type > Fonts list as “Document Fonts”. Seems pretty awesome, but without any explanation, many older (Postscript Type 1) font types won’t auto-activate from the Document Fonts folder. So this is not a truly fail-safe method for activating fonts. Not to mention this only works for InDesign.

Illustrator does not use this method to load or activate fonts.:(.
