The question then, is how to solve this persistent issue with Inkscape when the SkyFonts (which I find has become unreliable and unstable) workaround doesn’t work? When a client was asked me about this, I directed them to my original post, only to discover that those instructions no longer work. If you want any non-Adobe font, you need to make your own arrangement to get them.I wrote a post a few months ago about using SkyFonts to install new fonts in Inkscape, a freeware graphic design package that is a great substitute for Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. Probably a fee for each font that a subscriber activates.

Foundries can end the license and get the font cancelled for all subscribers this has happened. The others are under license, under the terms they agreed. If you never purchased Adobe Font Folio, that wouldn't apply.Īdobe only actually own their own fonts - perhaps 500-1000. I believe there was a discount on Adobe Font Folio, if you actually purchased the Adobe Font Library before. That's less than 3% of the library available today. Maybe there were around 500 of them, and if you had them and kept them you can still use them. Adobe occasionally bundled fonts with apps and gave font files. Just chosen to show how unlikely a demand that people could get the font files with their subscription is. A typical price for this is $100-$1000 per font, so the $20,000 fonts could go up to $2 million, before we start to deduct for the free fonts.

Adobe Fonts also offers a web font license with unlimited web views. On that model the base price for $20,000 fonts could be said to be $600,000. Indeed, a more typical price is $30 per font for a desktop license. But many of the fonts in Adobe Fonts could never be purchased at $1.

But, some of the fonts in Adobe Fonts are available for free (eg Google Fonts). So on the $1 per font model, that would be $20,000. Adobe Fonts (subscription) offers 'over 20,000 fonts' - more than 8 times as many.

So that's as little as $1.08 per font, let's call it $1 per font. A CD-based collection of 2,400 OTF fonts, $9000 for a normal license for 20 computers, but with a special at a mere $2600. until recently you could buy a license for Adobe Font Folio. But here is some data which informed the 'maybe $50,000' that I posted.

That having been said, it is better than rasterizing text and at the larger point sizes typically found in logos, the degradation from outlining will be minimized.Ĭlearly nothing I say will make you feel that Adobe are a model of generosity, and nor should it they want to maximize profit. PS: I rarely endorse any “text outlining” since it generally degrades text rendering quality. However, Office supports import of SVG very well and as such, SVG with outlined fonts is you solution for Word!

Although on MacOS, Office can import PDF-based content, such support is not particularly good and is non-existent if you bring the Office document to a Windows system (all you end up with there for such imported PDF is a low resolution raster representation of the PDF content). For Microsoft Word (or Excel or PowerPoint), convert the text to outlines in Illustrator (generally a bad idea, but necessary here) and save the logo as an SVG file. For Pages and InDesign, for example, you would save the Illustrator-based logo as a PDF file with the font embedded and import/place the PDF file into the Pages or InDesign document. You create them in an illustration program such as Adobe Illustrator and then place a version of same in Pages or Word or InDesign or whatever! You should not be recreating a logo every time you need to use it in those layout and word processing programs.Īssume you are going to create a logo in Illustrator and then use it elsewhere. To be more specific, logos should be stand-alone.
