Icompleted a project in Indesign. When I reopen the Indesign file, Indesign gives me a "missing font notification" for the Roboto font. I originally installed them through Google, then deleted them and reinstalled them through Adobe Fonts. Still, I get this messsage.
My client is waiting since hours for the files which I cannot send him because I cannot get such a simple task as fonts showing up in my document to work. When I open creative cloud and click on active fonts, I see a "turning symbol" but nothing loads.
I also tried all the solutions offered in forums and Adobe website. Issue still persists. It is so bad, that I am seriously considering Affinity Publisher for future projects. I just cant continue in this unprofessional manner any longer. I am really fed up.
This suggests that there is a problem with activating the fonts on your system. You say you tried "all the solutions offered on the Adobe website" but I don't know if you've seen this list of troubleshooting tips:
The problem is probably the OS, which cannot cope with having 2 fonts of the same name installed, using two different systems. Best is, when having installed the font, to stay with that solution, except if there is an excellent reason to change.

When I have fonts that won't install via InDesign, I install them via It's not as comfortable as the InDesign solution, but it works. Most of the time, Closing InDesign and restarting it solves the problem, however.
Drilling down a little further going through manage fonts/installed fonts in creative cloud app you may see fonts with conflicts. Roboto was already installed on my system so removing the specific versions of it with the conflicting icon from adobe fonts allowed me to have adobe fonts activated and have roboto work.
I expericence this many times every month in cc 2023. Not only with roboto, but with fonts that exists in both TTF and OTF version. Indesign pretends to use the one not installed (and installing the other version of font it doesn't work anyway).
The problem is in indesign, not in windows or macos.
Attention: the problem was present also in previuos versions of indesign, but opening the idml in a different verion saved my bottom many times.
I'm asing myself why continue to pay for a software that is not improving and every year has unnecessary function added...
I imported my Sketch file and all the text is messed up. This seems to be because your do not support key Google fonts including Roboto. I cannot remove Roboto from my PC, it's used pretty much everywhere. What is the fix? Here's hoping this is one as otherwise I'll have to find a different tool.
The problem is probably that not all roboto font types have been downloaded and, as you have them installed on your computer, instead of using our regular Roboto font, it is using the system one and leads to errors.
What you can do is go to the font folder which is located inside Justinmind installation folder and examine if all roboto variants are there and, if not, delete all roboto fonts and download them again from the font dialog on Justinmind, and then all should appear.
Please look at the attached image. You can see how Illustrator renders each heavier face in the family in a nice even fashion as you would expect. However, in JustinMind the Medium face renders as heavier than bold or black... the all-important hierarchy is rendered useless. Roboto is the primary font that our platform uses and "medium" is the primary thicker font face we use... except i have to use bold instead... and Medium is not useful at all. And using Bold in place of Medium means I cannot use Bold at all.
Already had Roboto downloaded from Google but for the heck of it I uninstalled and reinstalled it and did the test in JIM and it still looks incorrect. I've attached a screenshot of what I was just seeing in the editor... which looks the same as the 1st one I attached. The weight hierarchy is incorrect and some of the weights also seem to be getting squashed downward somewhat... it's very obvious on Regular weight... all the o's look like circles instead of ovals.
I am having a similar issue using a new Google font which I downloaded with the new version of JIM. The font is downloaded however it isn't render in simulation mode or when using the app on the phone.
I am currently using Windows 10 and I am not using any font manager (and never did). The font was installed on my computer when this problem occurs but I removed it and installed it again but no change on the issue.
Good! Now, if you want to use Roboto in any other application than Justinmind, look for it inside the Justinmind folder and install the one that comes with Justinmind. That way you won't have any issues with the font again.
I just opened a prototype on my home laptop. It was at 8.0. It was able to display Roboto Light normally. Although I WAS still having the aforementioned font weights issue where Medium was heavier than bold I wasn't having a problem displaying the characters themselves.
So I just updated the prototype to 8.0.1 and now all the characters are garbled, just like on my work laptop (which also had no problem until I upgraded to 8.0.1 and now displays completely garbled characters in the editor as well)
Look for the Roboto font inside the Justinmind folder and install the one that comes with Justinmind. After doing this, you shouldn't have any other issues with this font, and will be able to use it in any other application.
2. Roboto fonts do not appear visible in my Windows font folder. This is apparently a known problem with no obvious solution in Windows 10. And I've tried a variety of approaches folks in Windows forums suggested. That means I cannot delete the old version and without doing this, adding your absurd "special" version of Roboto is not possible. i've now spent over an hour on this issue. 30 more minutes and I'll find another tool. This is absurd. Why can't you just use the standard Google font like every other tool. Roboto is the most used font on the planet for web and mobile dev.
