University Brand Fonts Aren't Available in Microsoft Office Apps

Problem

"Cal Poly University Brand fonts do not appear in Microsoft Office applications even after activating them in Adobe Creative Cloud."

Solution

You must deactivate then re-activate the fonts in an Adobe app.

  1. Close all opened Office applications.

  2. From the taskbar (Windows) or Apple menu bar (macOS), open the Creative Cloud desktop app, click the Creative Cloud icon.

  3. From the RESOURCE LINKS menu > Manage fonts, deactivate the Abolition, Utopia, and Source Sans fonts by toggling the DEACTIVATE switch.

  4. From the profile menu (upper right), click Sign out, then click the Continue button. You should now be signed out of Creative Cloud.

  5. Go to the Creative Cloud desktop app page.

  6. From the top right of the page, click the Sign In link. Enter your Cal Poly email (e.g., jmustang@calpoly.edu) and click the Continue button. Then click on Company or School account.

  7. Enter your Cal Poly username and password. Click the Login button.

  8. From the RESOURCE LINKS menu > Manage fonts. Click the Browse more fonts button, search for the fonts (Abolition, Utopia, and Source Sans), and toggle to Activate the fonts in your Adobe account.

  9. Open an Adobe app like Photoshop and open or create a file. This step seems to apply the fonts.

  10. Now, when you open any Office applications you should see the fonts.
