The Monotype Library Subscription, available today on and MyFonts, provides customers like freelance designers and small creative agencies with the ability to license typefaces from the Monotype Library for desktop use at an introductory price of just $14.99 USD per month or $119.99 USD per year. – JanuMonotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a leading provider of typefaces, technology and expertise for creative applications and consumer devices, today introduced the Monotype® Library Subscription and the Monotype Enterprise License: two new services that make it easier for customers, ranging from freelancers to large enterprises, to work with some of the world’s most popular typefaces.

PS: while I'm not able to find the fonts from my Monotype subscription on my hard drive as proper font files, the fonts, once installed, still remain available with internet connection cut off. Scenario 2: same as with your post.īut considering that cloud services like this are becoming more and more common (like 'em or not), and considering that the TeX world has always been at the forefront of technical innovation, I'm confident that there'll be a solution in the near future.
I was too lazy to add that path to the Lua font search path list, so I just copied those files to the standard Windows fonts dir (making loading SkyFonts obsolete). AppData\Roaming\Monotype\skyfonts-myfonts. It still requires physical files on your system. However, fontspec, as of yet, doesn't seem to be prepared for such a constellation. The SkyFonts application provides the link between the cloud and your system, so that the applications you're working with can access them. In that case, the font files will remain in the cloud. Or you can (2) subscribe to a ›rental‹ plan such as the Monotype Library Subscription, for a monthly, yearly, or 3-yearly fee.

We're talking about the difference between ›bought‹ and ›rented‹ fonts here. But all the data I have so far points in the same direction:įontspec is not able to load a font installed via SkyFonts unless the font license you purchased includes a physical installation of the font file on your system. I'm still in the process of investigating that problem myself (I'm testing SkyFonts + Monotype Library Subscription + LuaLaTeX). Please consider this a ›temporary‹ answer (maybe Will Robertson can provide more info). My intention was to use the font in a LaTeX document test.tex: \documentclassĬan XeLaTeX even work with fonts installed via SkyFonts? If not, what could be

However, it shows up in certainĭesktop applications, for example Xara Designer Pro as: Sabon Next Com The font does not appear in C:\Windows\Fonts. On my Windows 7 system I installed via SkyFonts from : Sabon Next Display
