PostScript Type 1 fonts end of support

Authoring with Type 1 fonts disabled in Adobe apps after January 2023

Overview

Announced January 2021:

Type 1 fonts (also known as PostScript, PS1, T1, Adobe Type 1, Multiple Master, or MM) are a format within the font industry that has been replaced by formats that can support larger glyph sets.

Type 1 fonts were introduced by Adobe in 1984 for use with its PostScript page description language, and became widely used with the spread of desktop publishing software and printers that could use PostScript. In 1996, Adobe products and type development began to concentrate on the use of more versatile OpenType fonts rather than Type 1.

Most browsers and mobile OSes do not support Type 1 fonts. Similarly to Adobe, most operating systems will likely move forward with support for the more robust technical possibilities of OpenType format fonts, ending support for the Type 1 format.

Type 1 fonts will not be supported in the following software versions and beyond:

Photoshop

23.0 release

Illustrator

27.3 release

InDesign

18.2 release

Digital Video and Audio

23.2 release

Type 1 fonts will continue to be supported in previous software versions.

नोट:

Fonts added from the Adobe Fonts library may appear in Creative Cloud software with a file type of OpenType Type 1. This should more precisely display as the file type OpenType CFF.

CFF is a compact representation of Type 1 that we will continue to support. We are working with our product teams to clarify this font description and avoid future confusion.
