Font-pocalypse!

Type 1 Font FormatAdobe will disable support for authoring with Type 1 =fonts by January 2023. This means that Adobe applications will not =recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts =installed in your desktop operating system. Those fonts will appear as missing and you will have to do a Find and Replace with a suitable TrueType or OpenType font. Note that Type 1 fonts will continue to work =in previous versions of Creative Cloud apps apart from Photoshop v23 and beyond, which ended support in 2021. When the operating system =itself stops supporting Type 1 Fonts then even the older Adobe apps will not be able to use them. You can either wait until next year to do =your Find and Replace on existing documents or you can start migrating to newer OpenType / TrueType fonts now.

Note that 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.

Pantone-pocalypse!

Pantone SwatchesAs if eliminatingType 1 fonts wasn't enough, Adobe is =also phasing out most Pantone Swatch libraries in Creative Suite. =Except for the three swatch libraries listed below customers who rely on Pantone colours in their creative workflows must purchase a Pantone =Connect license and access Pantone colours via the Pantone Connect plugin on Adobe Exchange. Three remaining free libraries in Creative Suite are:
  • PANTONE+ CMYK Coated
