7 Clouds Font
Arleen Smelko
To get the cloud fonts, your device needs to be online and connected to the Internet. In apps running on Windows, go to File > Account, select Manage Settings under Account Privacy, and turn on Optional connected experiences. Clearing the check box turns off cloud fonts and other online services from Microsoft.
Additional fonts, including a variety of popular open-source fonts, user interface and seldom used fonts are provided for document compatibility purposes. These are only listed in font menus if you view or edit content that uses them.
For an illustrated counterpart of this list that shows a sample of each font, see A Guide to Cloud Fonts in Microsoft Office 365, created by Julie Terberg, presentation designer and owner of Terberg Design.

I have custom fonts used for branding that are not being properly mapped to title blocks when using cloud publish. First screen shot is local, second is cloud. The differences seem to be either in size or line weight. What are best practices/things to keep in mind when using custom fonts or other custom settings in cloud publish?
If this is basically just a logo that happens to use letters, what about converting it to an image instead of fighting with the text of Cloud Publish. That will also prevent any issues of the fonts not being properly embedded in and created PDFs and not printing/displaying properly on the client end.
If you are on Mac, there is a known issue observed when a file created by a Mac version of Vectorworks is opened and Published by a Windows version of Vectorworks. Since the Vectorworks running on the Cloud is Windows-based, the issue is seen. I would recoomend you use an image, to ensure the Cloud will produce the correct results in the title block. However, I would also recommend you keep an eye on other scaling issues like that in other elements of your pages. The isssue is not specific to title blocks. You can also try using another font with a similar appearance to see if that helps in any way.
Also, check your email to see if you get an email that custom fonts were mapped to Arial. It does look to me like your original font is getting mapped to Arial. If you have used a font converter to convert a Mac font family into idividual fonts (.otf and .ttf) it is possible that the Vectorworks on the cloud can't recognize your custom font. In the past, I have been able to fix custom fonts like this by using a free font editing tool called FontForge. If you need further help, plese don't hesitate to send me a personal message and let me know about specific fonts that are not working and I will try to help you.

Practically, I'm not opposed to this, the current set up was the result of being very new to the software and running into resolution issues between exporting from gd software, drawing, web publish, and printing that I have probably grown out of. This however, only resolves the issue illustrated with the logo, and not the alignment and/or wrapping issues in the other fields
@inikolova Thank you for the detailed response, I agree the font looks like it is being mapped to Arial but I am not getting a notification about missing fonts. I did receive those emails in my initial experiments and have since included fonts in my cloud folder per VW Cloud docs: "Place the font file anywhere in Vectorworks Cloud Services". Based on re-reading, I can confirm they are .ttf files but I am unsure if they were converted in the process of uploading to cloud folder. One is custom that I built using a tool similar to fontForge and the other imported from Google fonts, then both installed as system fonts. I am pretty sure I pulled them directly from Font Book to upload to cloud.
The "bug" Iskra's post refers to is that Fonts of the same name might have different appearance (different font metrics) across the different platforms. (As an example, this article.) Not just VW, but Word, web pages, or any kind of document can suffer from this issue. In Peter's case, we need someone to investigate why Arial is getting substituted on the cloud in this particular case.
@Rick Berge Thanks for chiming in. I was not sure if Peter's issue was due to font platform differences or because his custom font is getting mapped to Arial. I will try to research some more and find out if font mapping is the culprit in his case.
To fix this, you need to delete these font mappings from your Vectorworks. In the Vectorworks preferences; on the Display tab, click the Edit Font Mappings button, and delete these mappings. Quit Vectorworks to save the font mapping preferences. After this, open the Vectorworks Cloud Services settings and click the SYNC button to sync your local mappings to the cloud.
I think the reason why you had these mappings on the Cloud was that you had them in your local Vectorworks mappings. You probably opened a file that contained these fonts before you had them installed on your machine. And when you submit a job to the cloud, your local mappings are automatically synced to the Cloud.
I would like to reduce the font size in tag cloud (at least for tags with more than one hits). I was looking in css file, but couldn't find anything about font size in tag cloud. Do you know where to change? (The link is www.veda-vit.de, just in case it's needed.)
WordPress defines the default arguments that configure the Tag Cloud. These arguments are defined here in codex. Notice that you can specify the smallest and largest font size. By default, it's set at 22 with a unit of pt.
A lot of people will tell you to add it to the theme's functions.php file. I'm not one of those people. I teach and advocate modular theme and plugin development. That means the theme's functions.php file should not be a collection point for everything.
The font-size is set as an inline CSS by WordPress. You can override those using the above code. It's not recommended to force it via CSS with !important. Let WordPress do its thing and just set the min and max as shown above.
Adding code to the functions.php file, and also trying to add code to set the min and max font-size for the widget tags did no work for me. I am assuming that the fix given above might have worked before, but not now with the latest releases of WordPress.
Same issue here. The custom font is embedded in the document as well as the library, but the rendering remains Helvetica. Did you find a remediation? The workaround mentioned above is not an option for me unfortunately. I would prefer not pasting my library files elsewhere nor create instances of it.

A month ago we had the same issues in our Template document which we uploaded to Sketch Cloud
Decided to upload as a simple document (not a template) and then saw the correct fonts in Sketch Cloud.

John - Sometimes, the only way a question can be answered is with a screen shot. Good job! If you look in your Logos 4 program settings, I believe you will find the name of the typeface. Under the notes section, I have Helvetica listed, which is the typeface used for all of my word clouds. My guess is that you will find your answer there.
At first glance, the typeface is similar to Optima, but not quite. If you don't find what you are looking for, please let us know and I will try to investigate further. If you do find out the typeface, please let us know as well.
Background:I recently ran into a situation where I was trying to verify that my CSS @font-family tags were working correctly. I opened Font Book to verify that I did NOT have the font already installed, then proceeded to open my HTML file in Chrome. Everything looked great! But it turned out that I DID have the font installed via Adobe Fonts. So my test was invalid and unfortunately my tags were not setup correctly.
Also, when possible, we use a different font-family name format to avoid this very issue. You can always check to make sure you're using our font-family name in your CSS/web project to be sure: _fonts#web_projects-section
I currently work across three seperate Adobe licenses in different capacities, and several machines. I'm still relatively new in media, but in seven years and two full-time positions, I've never been able to implement Adobe fonts into a legitimate project, either through the Typekit website or from inside Adobe apps.
Occasionally I forget, and successfully choose a cloud font through the font-dropdown in Photoshop or Illustrator, but it never successfully re-syncs the next time I authorise my machine. If a font is included in my Adobe license, I typically find it through Google Fonts or pirate it for local installation. It never crosses my mind that Typekit is a legitimate option.
But after downloading Open Sans for the umpteenth time, it's occured to me that this is pretty silly. The fonts troubleshooting steps are a few lines long and consist of the usual firewall checks and reinstallation. And any search through Google or the Support Community definitely gives the impression that this is a shared frustration.
The only unusual thing that might happen and that you mention, is that let's say I used a typeface on an application, let's say Ai, then I move the file to Ps and it looks like it does not recognize the font.
