You are given the opportunity to open the correct font on your computer and the problem will be resolved. When fonts are discovered to be missing when an Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator is opening, you’ll get a dialog (this is the one from Adobe InDesign). This would cause problems if you wanted to share your file with someone working on the other platform. Until the advent of OpenType fonts, the file formats and character sets of Macintosh and Windows fonts differed.If you choose the wrong font, type can reflow, or an incorrect character can appear. It’s common to have multiple fonts with similar names, which can get mixed up or be open simultaneously.Most experienced creative professionals would probably agree that working with fonts could be one of the most problematic issues in working with graphics applications. It's possible one of those sites may have a version that will load in Illustrator.We began a discussion of fonts for printing with this blog posting, where we talked about the different kinds of fonts that can be used for printing. In the case of this Ami R font file, I would suggest trying to download versions of it from other rival free fonts sites. I had to sync Open Sans from Adobe Fonts for one project because the font files I had from Google's site didn't work properly. Some of Google's fonts are also hosted on the Adobe Fonts service, so that has been another work-around. I'll get lucky and download a newer version that works better. Fonts do get technical updates from time to time. I've been able to get around this problem a few times by simply downloading another copy from Google Fonts. Or when I try applying the font to a text object the target text object get styled with Arial instead. They'll either preview in the font menu looking like default Arial. They work alright in Adobe Illustrator, but CorelDRAW refuses to load them properly. Lately I've seen issues with some typefaces downloaded from the Google Fonts web site. I've seen it before where Illustrator refuses to load a typeface that seems to work in another application. Free fonts aren't held to the same standards as commercial foundry fonts. I check my account at MyFonts every now and then for technical updates to type families I've purchased. Sometimes commercially sold fonts have problems too. It is pretty common for free/open source fonts to have technical problems. I assume you may have downloaded the Ami R font from one of those free fonts places, right? If that the case then I'm still thinking the font file has a technical problem that's causing Illustrator to reject it. I don't get any hits from commercial web sites like MyFonts or. When I try web searching "Ami R Font" the query returns links to several free fonts web sites. CorelDRAW has some type-related bugs that have persisted in the application for years.Īt first I thought the "Ami R" font could be from the TypeType company because all of their font packages are named with a "TT" up front, such as TT Supermolot Neue, TT Octosquares, TT Cometus, etc. If I close both applications and re-launch Illustrator all the missing fonts return in Illustrator's font menu. Multiple styles of typefaces will disappear from the font menu in Illustrator. Next issue, like Monica mentioned, are you using any font management software? Or do you have other graphics applications open and running at the same time with Illustrator? I've personally observed font conflicts if CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator are running at the same time on the same computer. Some users will do things like try to drag font files into the Windows Fonts folder rather than select the font files and apply the "install" command from the fly-out menu. Obviously the font files need to be correctly installed in the operating system. Did you buy this typeface from a vendor such as MyFonts or ? I'd make sure the font files are not corrupt. I've heard of Amsi Pro, but that typeface was made by Stawix. When you mention "TT Ami R" are you talking about the TypeType foundry? Nothing like "Ami" is listed among TypeType's library of fonts.
