I used to use Suitcase & even bought the latest version for both of my Macs. Perhaps other folks can recommend other troubleshooting techniques you might try. So while I don’t have any good answers to why ID isn’t seeing the fonts that it should see, I would recommend trying to put a font in the Fonts folder and see if it works. You can put a Windows -only font inside the Fonts folder in the Macintosh version of InDesign and it can use it! For example, you can put instances of multiple master fonts in them and InDesign can read them (even though multiple master fonts are no longer officially supported). The Fonts folder can do other magic, too. I don’t even need to relaunch InDesign it just sees them automatically. Instead, I just make an alias from their fonts folder and place it in my InDesign fonts folder.

Even better, you can put an alias (or “shortcut,” or whatever you want to call it) to a folder of fonts and InDesign can see all those fonts!įor example, if someone sends me a document to open, along with their fonts, I do not want to load all their fonts onto my system. If you put a font in that folder, InDesign can almost always see it. It’s located in the same folder as the application itself (along with the plug-ins and presets folders). Most people don’t realize that InDesign has its own Fonts folder. But here’s one trick I always like to try: InDesign’s Fonts folder. There are many possible solutions here, and I invite readers to write in with your experiences.

Why is InDesign not recognizing the fonts? I go to the library to check and they are there.

When we open up a layout it will tell us the fonts are missing.
