Adobe Fonts was originally launched as Typekit by Adobe in 2011. It provided an online service and licensing agreement for subscribers to have access to a wide variety of fonts for immediate use on websites and for download to Adobe desktop apps, but without requiring purchase of the fonts. In 2018 the name Typekit was changed to Adobe Fonts.

Fix this problem by only using fonts from Adobe Fonts in your document.

Use InDesign Font menu > Find/Replace Font to quickly check which fonts your document is using and to change from one format to another. Select Redefine Style When Changing All to ensure your Paragraph and Character Styles are updated accordingly:

NB When using InDesign’s Package feature fonts from Adobe Fonts used in the document will not be be packaged, as per the terms of the subscription agreement. Using Adobe Fonts therefore requires subsequent users to also have access to Adobe Fonts.
