Authoring with Type 1 fonts disabled in Adobe apps after January 2023
Overview
Announced January 2021:
Type 1 fonts (also known as PostScript, PS1, T1, Adobe Type 1, Multiple Master, or MM) are a format within the font industry that has been replaced by formats that can support larger glyph sets.
Type 1 fonts were introduced by Adobe in 1984 for use with its PostScript page description language, and became widely used with the spread of desktop publishing software and printers that could use PostScript. In 1996, Adobe products and type development began to concentrate on the use of more versatile OpenType fonts rather than Type 1.
Most browsers and mobile OSes do not support Type 1 fonts. Similarly to Adobe, most operating systems will likely move forward with support for the more robust technical possibilities of OpenType format fonts, ending support for the Type 1 format.
Type 1 fonts will not be supported in the following software versions and beyond:
|
|
23.0 release |
|
Illustrator |
27.3 release |
|
InDesign |
18.2 release |
|
Digital Video and Audio |
23.2 release |
Type 1 fonts will continue to be supported in previous software versions.
Note
Fonts added from the Adobe Fonts library may appear in Creative Cloud software with a file type of OpenType Type 1. This should more precisely display as the file type OpenType CFF.
CFF is a compact representation of Type 1 that we will continue to support. We are working with our product teams to clarify this font description and avoid future confusion.
As announced in January 2021, support for all Type 1 fonts in Adobe products is ended after January 2023.?Users no longer have the ability to author content using Type 1 fonts in updated Adobe products.
Adobe software will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system:
- Type 1 fonts will not appear in the font menu
- Previously installed Type 1 fonts will no longer work
- Opening files with existing Type 1 fonts will appear as “Missing fonts” in the document
Some products, including Document Cloud applications, will continue to display and work with Type 1 fonts as they have all along.
Type 1 fonts will not be supported in the following software versions and beyond:
|
Photoshop |
23.0 release |
|
Illustrator |
27.3 release |
|
InDesign |
18.2 release |
|
Digital Video and Audio |
23.2 release |
Note
Photoshop ended support for Type 1 fonts in October 2021 with the Photoshop 23.0 release. See the Photoshop announcement for more information.
Type 1 fonts will continue to be supported in software versions previous to those listed in the table above.
Adobe applications will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system:
1. Type 1 fonts will not appear in the Fonts menu.
2. There would be no way to use previously installed Type 1 fonts.
3. Existing Type 1 fonts will appear as “Missing fonts” in the document.
?
If you experience any of the above scenarios in InDesign version 18.2 (released in February 2023) or later, you can view and replace Type 1 fonts with the Find/Replace Font dialog.
Type 1 data embedded in file types such as EPS and PDF will be unaffected by this change, as long as they are placed for display or printing as graphic elements. If those files are opened for editing in applications such as Illustrator or Photoshop, they will trigger a “Missing fonts” error.
Yes, Type 1 fonts will continue to work in versions of Creative Cloud apps previous to the releases listed in the table below, including any dot releases or security updates.

Operating systems are likely moving towards ending support for Type 1 fonts. Previous versions of Creative Cloud apps will not be able to support Type 1 fonts once support is ended for the operating system.
Many fonts published by Adobe Type in the past (such as Adobe Originals) are available from the Adobe Fonts service for free with your Creative Cloud subscription.?You can also update your Adobe-owned desktop fonts to the OpenType format for a discount by reaching out to our partner Type Network with proof of your original license for each individual font.
Perpetual licenses for OpenType format fonts published by Adobe are also available for purchase from Type Network.
Users who purchased Type 1 fonts not owned by Adobe should contact the font foundry that published the font(s) to learn whether an upgrade path to the OpenType format is available.
Converting Type 1 fonts to the OpenType format is possible but will produce a sub-optimal result. Additionally, converting your files may be prohibited by the font foundry’s End User License Agreement. Please consult the license agreement or contact the foundry directly for more information.
InDesign has a Find and Replace feature that allows you to locate and replace any missing fonts in your document.
Additionally, the in-app alert for Type 1 or missing fonts in InDesign gives you the option to Replace Fonts. Select the Replace Fonts button to view the Find/Replace Fonts dialog, showing how many Type 1 fonts are in the document. You can select any missing font and replace it with a font of your choice.
No changes are being made to Acrobat. Acrobat will continue handling PDFs in the same manner it has been for more than 20 years:
PDFs with embedded fonts will display as intended.
For files with non-embedded fonts there are two scenarios–
- The missing font is one of the fonts that ships with Acrobat or is the default in the operating system's fonts. This font gets used in place of the non-embedded font.
- The missing font is substituted for the next closest match according to Acrobat's font substitution table and the available fonts on the system.
When PDFs are viewed in a web browser, a viewer other than Adobe’s may be used.? In such cases, we cannot control what will happen. This is the current expectation and does not change based on Adobe’s Type 1 end of support.
?
There will be no change to the printed output. Printers, presses, and proofers that are powered by Adobe PostScript or the Adobe PDF Print Engine will process documents and jobs the same as they always have.
Commercial print jobs and office documents and that are sent to such devices will not be affected. They will appear exactly the same as always.
If a document/job uses and embeds a Type 1 font, the text will continue to be rendered using the Type 1 font. If the Type 1 font is not embedded in the PDF file or PostScript print stream, then the Type 1 font must be resident on printer. This is unchanged.
