Adobe Typekit - Font will not display

Hello, I am having trouble displaying an Adobe Typekit font. I was originally trying to use the TypeKit plugin, but saw in other chains you don’t need it. When I go to X - Launch - Templates - Fonts, it is showing my Body Copy is set to Futura PT (300 - Book), which is correct. When I type in that Preview box, it does not display Futura PT 300 font. When I go to Options - it shows I have Body Copy as the Body font.

When I go to a page, it does appear to be displaying a Futura Font, but I believe it is a bolder version of the font, possibly the one that comes with the System font options, not the thinner book option I am trying to install through Adobe Typekit.

I did try to disable plug-ins to see if that would help, but no such luck.

Am I missing something? I will send my credentials in a separate post. Thank you for your help.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Could you please follow this article and setup accordingly (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/extension-typekit/88).

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply. I tried to set it up this way again, but it still does not work. After installing/activating the Typekit extension, Futura PT (Typekit) is not an option like the Hotel Open (Typekit) is an option in the example you provided. Only Futura (System) is available.

Hi There,

It seems that the font that you’re looking for is not included in their free plan.

You need to either upgrade or use an alternative font.

Thanks!

I already have a paid Adobe Typekit subscription, which I used to create a kit and embed the code in my website for the specific font weight I’m trying to use. I will send my embed code, which should also be uploaded to my website, by secure note.

Hi There,

Futura Ft is there when I checked on the Font Manager. See this: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFVen6onuT
I can see from Options > Typography, you have set this font for Body:

Checking, the frontend, yes I can see it is not Futura FT from typekit. See this: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFVenvonUF
Can you go to Options > Typoraphy : Enable Font Manager: Set this to OFF. Then save. Enable it again, under Body Font choose Body Copy again and disable the option Body Font Italic. Save again. Then check the frontend. This process will reset the settings. Let us know how this goes.

Thank you for looking into this. I went through the steps you described, but the Future FT font still does not display on the front end. Please let me know what other steps I can take. Thanks!

Hey @CareerCoach,

The issue is you have not assigned your domain to the kit. Here’s the error.

Please contact Typekit support to check what’s going on.

Thanks.

Success! Thank you so much for figuring this out for me. The font is up and running now. Have a great day!

You’re welcome. Glad we could help. :slight_smile:
