installed font missing InDesign 17.2 macOS 12.3 (Monterey) and macOS Catalina
Different clients have the same problem. Installed fonts on the system are not recognised by InDesign 17.2. Other Adobe applications recognise the font and it can be used in those applications. I can recreate the problem, my colleague not. After downgrading InDesign to version 17.01 everything works fine.

We've just released InDesign 17.2.1 version which addresses this issue.
Please update to this latest version using Creative Cloud Desktop application.
In case the fix does not work immediately for you, please try the following:
1) Quit InDesign.
2) Delete the following:
on Mac:
/Users/[yourname]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign
/Users/[yourname]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign
on Win:
C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign
C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign
Relaunch InDesign & see if it works properly now.

Confirmed here on Windows 10. Had to roll back from InDesign 17.2 to 17.01 for it to recognize certain fonts.

Hi Deborah,
fingers crossed, my issue with a not showing up font from a Document fonts folder was fixed by restarting my Windows 10 machine. Had this with InDesign 17.1.0.50 and the prerelease version 17.2.0.18. The same Document fonts folder worked for InDesign documents with versions 16.4 and below also installed on the same machine.Regards,

Can confirm this issue happening here as well in version 17.2.
Also performance is severely sluggish.Bottomline: This version is not working.
Another funny thing is that user interface scaling by default is set rather large. Annoying.
