Hey guys!

Has anyone of you managed to get fonts to work in apps like Mail, Word or others once you have downloaded and activated those fonts from Adobe Creative Cloud? Even Photoshop Express doesn’t see the installed fonts.

I haven’t.

They are installed if I look in the CC and Settings apps. So why aren’t the fonts appearing in apps like Mail and others?

Am I missing something?

Screenshot from Settings, installed font list:

Screenshot from Mail, available font list:

Most likely because you subscribe to CC, so you haven't done an outright purchase that would allow you to permanently install them on the Mac. However, I haven't subscribed to CC in years, and even then, I didn't bother with fonts (we had purchased our "house" fonts long before CC came along). This is purely based on my experience with other subscribed content - when the subscription ends your access to downloaded content ends (eg. if you download songs from an Apple Music subscription and then unsubscribe, the songs are automatically deleted). A mechanism that would allow Adobe to automatically delete fonts installed via Font Book probably doesn't exist.

The thing is that those are freely available fonts. So you wouldn't even need a subscription of any kind to install on your device. That's why I find it so odd.

Those fonts install and work just find on macOS HS.

Can you provide a screen shot from Mail while composing an email, as might be a third-party keyboard getting in the way when composing. Or buried some place else on the keyboard.

A wild guess, as I'm seeing the option to change fonts with stock keyboard in Mail, for example.

I don't use 3rd party keyboards.

3rd screenshot above is the font list in Mail.

This is the compose window:
