How to import Adobe fonts to autocad

[Anonymous]

Hi! When I want a new font, I log in to Adobe Font, find my font and hit activate. Then it just pops up in my Adobe software. I have no idea where they are placed in my file system, and I have no idea what kind of file type they are. I can't find them when I search for them. But I need one to be installed into Autocad. Can anybody help me? Sorry I sound stupid when it comes to computers, but (apparently) I am 😛

Thank you in advance!

AutoCAD only supports very specific font types and most Adobe fonts are not an option (no workaround).

Adobe Creative Cloud fonts are hosted on their server and made available from there via Adobe Fonts.   The actual font files (.shx, etc) would need to be duplicated and moved into the AutoCAD fonts folder to be available to AutoCAD, but access to those actual font files is generally NOT included with Adobe Creative Cloud.  More info here (scroll down to "Can I install the fonts on my server?") https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html#server
