Original story (published on April 07, 2022) follows:
Adobe InDesign is one of the best solutions available if you are looking for a desktop publishing and page layout designing tool. Developed by Adobe, the latest version (17.2) was released on March 28.
Used by professionals worldwide, InDesign is often used to create flyers, magazine page layouts, and newspapers amongst other things.
But in the last few months, users have faced issues such as OpenType font getting marked as PostScript Type 1 and objects missing or broken when using the Publish Online function.
And now, recent reports (1,2,3,4) from Mac users running Adobe InDesign 17.2 suggest that installed fonts are missing or not activating. The issue seems to be infuriating a lot of users since it is affecting every InDesign document, making it impossible for many to work.
Users say they tried everything from restarting Adobe InDesign to reinstalling fonts, clearing Adobe font cache, and even reinstalling the application itself but nothing helps.
Below are some reports from Adobe InDesign users complaining about fonts missing or not activating on Macs.
Thankfully, an Adobe employee has shed some light on the matter and said the developers are investigating the issue where multiple fonts on 17.2 are missing or not activating.
In the meantime, those affected by the problem can revert to an older version of Adobe InDesign as a temporary workaround.
As always, we will be keeping an eye out on the matter and update this space when the developers fix the Adobe InDesign 17.2 missing fonts issue so make sure you stay tuned.
Update 1 (May 10)
02:07 pm (IST): An Adobe employee has confirmed that this issue has been fixed in the latest InDesign version (17.2.1).
