I updated to the newest version today (April 6, 2018) and the font I use for a particular project (AvantGarde) is no longer available in the program. It is installed on my computer, but I have no idea how to access it with Premiere. This was the standard font I was using for this project up until today. Any insight?
Hi all,
We're working to fix this problem where Premiere Pro is unable to see certain CoolType fonts.
Stay tuned for an update.
Thanks,
Rameez

Uninstall the font and reinstall it.

No luck. I wish it was that simple!

Did you restart the computer after uninstalling and after reinstalling?
I should have suggested that earlier.

This appears to be a serious problem. Today I also updated my home MacPro tower (on El Capitan), and can confirm across 2 other Macs – a work MacBook Pro (on Sierra), and another work MacBook Pro (on HighSierra) – that Type 1 Postscript fonts do not show up in Premiere 12.1, nor After Effects 15.1. Only Open Type True Type fonts, or those installed under TypeKit appear to show up.
I have a personal MacBook Pro still on Premiere 12.0.1, and After Effects 15.0.1 and all font types show up fine there.
It should be noted that Premiere and Media Encoder would not open at all after the update on my MacPro until I applied the fix mentioned in this thread which involved removing the Typesupport folder at ~Library/Caches/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/12.0 (same for Premiere). A new file gets created on restart, but this did nothing to get back my fonts.
Hundreds of fonts are no longer loading in these apps since the update, on 3 different Macs, one of which never had Premiere opened until today. No problem with other CC apps like Photoshop, InDesign, etc.

Thanks. Another user has reported this. Hopefully it will get fixed, as my main computer is dead for any titling work. One user has found a type conversion tool for $100 that will convert from Type 1 to Open Type, as a quick fix.

I just downloaded & installed the free AnateGarde and it's working fine in version 12.1 on Windows 10 Pro (1709).

I experienced the same prob on my Mac after installing version 12.1. So I reinstalled 12.0 and all fonts are working again.
WARNING: If you intend to go back to version 12.0, don't open any of your existing projects in 12.1. I didn't discover the "lost font" issue until I had already opened a 12.0 file from a week ago in 12.1. When I reinstalled 12.0 and tried to open last week's file it wouldn't let me open it saying it had already been opened in a newer version. Seems funny but one minor version change from 12.0 to 12.1 made that much difference.
I see where there's a version 12.2 available now, I wonder if it fixes the "lost fonts" issue.

12.1.1 should fix most missing fonts issues.
As to the process of migrating projects forward ... if you migrate a project forward, always only migrate a copy or duplicate of the project file of the earlier version, so you always have a safe way back.

Thanks Neil.
I know now I should've duplicated the file first but never having been burned like that before (27 years on a Mac) I got caught with my britches down. I just never thought there'd be a need to back it up first. Thanks again...and I'll give 12.1.1 a try.

Yea, forget a safety thing once, likelihood of getting burned is high. Learned that bit myself from that good ol' school of hard knocks. The one that hits you upside the head with about a 50 pound block of cement. Wasn't particularly an enjoyable experience. But I certainly learned ...

I've got the same problem, I'm working on a project using DIN Black as my font. I updated my adobe, including pr ae and ps. When I opened my project, the font cannot be found (By adobe) but it is still perfectly installed on my system. DIN Regular can be found but the BLACK weight is missing (on Adobe).

Stay with Version 12.0.0 for now. Fonts work fine.

Any updates on this for PrPro? The newest AE update fixes this, so I was hoping to that Premiere would be close behind!

It should, as most of the text issues were similar between them, and though I haven't tested that particular font, it should be working now.
Easy enough to test ... install the updated 12.1.2 ... create a new project, play with your fonts. If they all work, THEN create new project files for your projects, go to the old project files in the Media Browser and import their assets.

So....
In another disappointing move by Adobe, this is now broken when I rolled to Premiere Pro v13.0 and AE v16.0.
Help Adobe! I really need my workflow to stop breaking!
Guess I'll be rolling back...again.
