TextMesh Pro TypeKit Fonts

Hi. Is there a way to use fonts synced using Adobe's TypeKit with TextMeshPro? TypeKit syncs fonts to your computer through the Adobe CC app but doesn't give you the actual font files. The fonts themselves are usable across any application that allows font selection but Unity requires otf or ttf files for fonts and TypeKit doesn't give them to you.

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible as we need to actual font file.

 

Also the TypeKit license doesn't actually allow you to embed fonts in mobile or desktop applications, unfortunately.

Ohhh Ok.
Thanks Guys

 

Text Mesh Pro doesn't embed the fonts in your project though. It converts them into an image file, and that usage is allowed under Adobe font licensing and Desktop licensing from other foundries. It doesn't apply to all fonts, but to most of them.

The reason for this is because embedding fonts causes issues of copying and extracting. They don't want the actual font file to be distributed, unless you pay for that right (usually about 10x the Desktop price). Before TMP, embedding (via standard UI) was our only real option because creating jpgs of every piece of text was unreasonable. Now that we have a built-in converter, the licensing can go back to the Desktop EULA.

Adobe.com license:
"You can use the fonts in any desktop program (such as Adobe Photoshop) to create images or vector artwork, which you can then use for any purpose. This includes generating a PDF, EPS file, or bitmapped file such as a JPEG or PNG."

Fonts.com Desktop license:
"A typical desktop font EULA will allow you to install the font on your computer for use with authoring tools including word processors, design tools and other applications that permit font selection. Fonts can also be used for creation of print documents, static images (JPEG, TIFF, PNG) and logos. The cost of a desktop font license is determined by the number of workstations on which the font is to be used."

Fontspring.com Desktop license:
"a. Use the Font to create and distribute graphics, logos, and artwork for display on any surface including computer screens, television screens, paper, physical products, or any other surface. The created graphics may be a fixed size (e.g. JPG, PNG, etc.) or a static vector (e.g. SVG, EPS, etc. made with a “create outlines” tool)."

Myfonts.com Desktop license:
"With a desktop license, you can install a font into your computer’s fonts folder and use it in any of your favorite applications that contain a fonts menu such as TextEdit, Microsoft Word, and Photoshop. Create and print documents, as well as static images (JPEG, TIFF, PNG), even if the images are used on the web or in a mobile app."
