Same problem here with the Helvetica Neue. indesign does not recognise the font.
Why does the fix take so long?

I didn't read all of the 129 comments but what I did read there is a reasonable amount of frustration. My workaround, again I didn't read everyone's comments so someone else may have suggested this too, is to use Avenir Book and add a stroke to it to make it bold. Then take your eyedropper and apply the style every where else you need a bold font in your document. I hope this helps. :)

PLEASE fix this! our corporate font is Avenir, all our InDesign documents are being hit with this font problem!

I am having the same issue with Avenir Book Oblique, Avenir Heavy and Futura Medium Condensed. These fonts are staples for all of my organization's publications. Attached is a small sample of the gibberish.

I see that Ravi from Adobe commented on June 29. Today is July 31 and my deadline is early next week.
Ravi, has the problem been solved? Do you have a workaround? Please advise.

InDesign 15.11 fails to consistently load Avenir Next Condensed Demi Bold and Medium faces. Unpredictable. Which means failure. Adobe: it is the “industry-leading layout and page design software” but the application will not find mac OS system fonts? What an utter disregard for your creative cloud customers.

Misery loves company. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's having these font errors. One minute the file opens and the font displays, minutes later the font error/the highlighting appears and I close InDesign, then a crash report dialog box appears. This is lame!!

Good morning. Are there any updates on the font issues we are all experiencing? If you need any more information or screenshots, please let me know.

Thanks for any information.

This is such a nightmare! Please let me know when this is fixed

What a waste of time. How can this be possible for a page layout program. Have spent may hours dealing with this issue with the same doc or different dodc over and over

It's always the same fonts that are not "missing" even though they are installed on my system (see screenshot) and were fine before we updated inDesign. I am currently on v15.1.1 using Catalina on a Mac. This does NOT happen to EVERYTHING I open though. When it does happen, I select "Skip" to avoid replacing fonts and close the document. I then reopen and it's fine. Adobe....please fix this sporadic issue!!

Same result, but with any font available locally and on typekit.

O Dear!
I was about to release my files to the client after making a few edits when I noticed on a few pages fonts are missing! This is not good. Please advise of a fix soon, REALZ soon!! The missing font is Palatino...

With every update this issue is still not fixed. So incredibly frustrating and wastes so much time. I've resorted to downgrading to version 15 as this font issue is complete and utter bs. Why did the Adobe InDesign Team break something that wasn't broke? Fix it please!!!!!! Also, tell your friends on the Photoshop team to fix the jpeg issue as well. geeshhhhhhh.....

Here's another possible fix I discovered recently by accident (the things we do for clients...). Open the affected document and a new document of similar dimensions. After highlighting the pages in the page panel of the affected document, right click them and select the "move pages" action to place them in the new document. I don't know why, but I haven't had font issues since. Good luck y'all.

Any update on when this will be fixed?

Having the same issue with Avenir

Having the same issues with Avenir and Helvetica.

InDesign 15.1.1 on macOS 10.14.6

Avenir and Helvetica problems. Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't!! Please fix this.

I know you are asking the original poster, but I figured I'd fill you in as well. It happens with typekit fonts, in a file where typekit fonts where used the day before, synced up working fine. Creative Cloud is running in the background, we have it set to open when we start our computer so that fonts always stay synced.

For example, every day we save all files and close before leaving work because every so often IT may come through and do updates to Windows and restart our PC. When we arrive to work the next morning, we reopen the same file we saved at 5 PM the prior day, and get the "Find Fonts" window. The "Activate" check box is grayed out. I close the "Find Fonts" window without resolving anything and look in the font dropdown list and the font isn't there. I click the tab at the top of the font dropdown list that lets you look through adobe fonts that aren't activated and I can find it, but the icon shows that it is activated. Deactivating/reactivating there doesn't do anything. The only way I can get the font to reactivate is to go to the website and do it there. Once I do that, I don't even have to close InDesign and reopen, it just starts working.

Hopefully this makes sense. None of the issues I'm facing is with fonts installed on my pc or packaged in a file.

impossible to work. Helvetica makes my files bleed. Any updates soon, please?
