Working with Adobe fonts
Creative Cloud users can use Typekit fonts that have been synced on your computer. The fonts appear alongside other locally installed fonts. However, you can now use an option to view only the Typekit fonts in the Fonts list. This makes it easier to work with your favorite Typekit-based fonts.
Note:
Typekit fonts are protected fonts. They cannot be packaged with other fonts while creating an Illustrator package file. If you package a file with Typekit fonts, when you open the Illustrator file on a different computer running Illustrator CC or later, you will be notified of unavailable fonts. You can then use the Find Font dialog to identify and download the missing fonts from the Typekit website.
For more information, see Find missing fonts.
