Active Fonts

Active Fonts are fonts you have activated through the Creative Cloud desktop application to use in your desktop software programs.

In the Active Fonts tab you can manage the fonts you have selected and reinstall your active fonts that are no longer in use.

We recommend removing fonts you no longer use to keep your font menu short and optimize performance.

There are a few options for removing font selections:

use the Deactivate switch next to a font family name to remove the entire font family
use the Deactivate switch next to an individual font style to remove a single font
use the Bulk Deactivate tool to select and deactivate larger groups of fonts

Using the Bulk Deactivate tool:

choose which bulk action you’d like to take in the dropdown menu
click the Deactivate button next to the menu
confirm you want to deactivate the fonts

It may take a few minutes for the fonts to be removed from your computer, depending on how many were selected.

We keep track of the fonts you’ve used before in your Previously Active tab, so you'll be able to find and activate them again.

How to reinstall your active fonts that are no longer in use

If you’re using Adobe fonts in an older version of Creative Cloud or in a third party app, you may notice that Creative Cloud periodically cleans up fonts that you don’t appear to be using.

When Creative Cloud applications haven’t been updated, fonts that have not been used in over 150* days will be uninstalled from your system. However, the fonts will remain in your active fonts list unless you choose to deactivate them. *Number of days is subject to change

If you’re using updated Creative Cloud apps, you’ll continue to see your active fonts in the font menus of your applications, regardless of how often you use them.

You can quickly reinstall fonts that are no longer in use by clicking the cloud icon next to the font name in the Active Fonts tab. If you have any project files that use uninstalled fonts, you will need to reinstall the fonts before continuing.

Note:

Starting in January 2021, Creative Cloud for Enterprise customers will be subject to the same use period for active fonts. Any fonts that have not been used in over 150* days will be uninstalled from your system. However, the fonts will remain in your active fonts list unless you choose to deactivate them. *Number of days is subject to change

If you’re using updated Creative Cloud apps, you’ll continue to see your active fonts in the font menus of your applications, regardless of how often you use them.
