Navigating Adobe InDesign's Font Changes

As your trusted partner in printing solutions, we at Foote Printing are here to share some recent updates concerning Adobe InDesign and how they may affect your projects.

Recently, Adobe InDesign announced a significant change: the discontinuation of their type one fonts. This includes font names ending with a dot, along with several others. While this alteration might seem daunting for longstanding users, there's no need for alarm. The software still supports OpenType or OTF fonts, and the built-in font toolkit on InDesign allows for more flexibility and customization in font selection.

So what does this mean for you? If you have old files using the now unsupported type one fonts and need to make edits, these fonts might be grayed out or completely unavailable. However, Foote Printing is here to assist you with these hiccups. By replacing the incompatible fonts with a similar one and cross-checking with a prior PDF version, we ensure the design integrity is maintained.

Moreover, to bypass any font issues altogether, we recommend two file versions: an original editable file and one where all fonts are converted into outlines or vector forms. This approach guarantees an issue-free file for us to work with, while keeping your original editable copy intact for future use.

To summarize, here are our takeaway points:

•   Adobe InDesign no longer supports type one fonts
•   OTF fonts are still compatible with Adobe InDesign
•   If you encounter font issues, Foote Printing can assist you
•   Save two file versions for hassle-free printing: an original editable one and another with all fonts converted to outlines

Whether you're grappling with the recent changes or require assistance with font replacements, Foote Printing is just a call away. Visit our website today and let us guide you through a smooth printing process. Remember, your printing needs are our priority.
