I dropped something $1,000 or $1,200 to replace all of my Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, and Frutiger fonts since those are not available on Adobe Fonts. I have a bunch of old Type One fonts that were purchased in the 90s and early 00s. Yes, I’ve been working though this, too, and you’re description of yourself pretty much sounds like me. This is going to be an epic time suck.Īnyone else dealing with postscript issues? What’s your plan? Every time I open a file it’s telling me how many font errors there are, and some have 50+ corrections that need to be made. The full families for the classics like Helvetica, Futura, Fruitger, Bodoni, Times… All of them have to be replaced, and these aren’t fonts that are available as part of the Adobe subscription. Paid a lot and have used them every day since. This is a freaking nightmare.Īll the fonts I purchased from 1995-2005 were postscript. Still working on it and there’s no end in sight. I started on Thursday and thought it would be a one day project. I’ve got some downtime so I figured I deal with it now. Beginning in January 2023 you won’t be able to use them in Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
