Editing Adobe Subscription (section)

==Disappearance of Fonts==
Adobe offers access to a huge library of fonts as part of their Creative Cloud subscription.

However, those are not guaranteed to stay. For instance, on June 15th, 2020, several fonts were removed<ref>https://creativepro.com/more-fonts-are-being-retired-from-creative-cloud/</ref>, leaving users who used these in their projects to purchase expensive licenses if they needed to make edits to existing documents. In theory, if a foundry goes out of business, this would leave users without access to the font they used for past projects, which could be detrimental if it is something like a corporate design for a company which would then be dependent on that font. Designers who offer templates for sale are faced with their work becoming worthless over night.

Moreover, font sync is tied to running a reasonably current version of the Creative Cloud background service app. Users using older computers with older operating system versions (particularly Macs) can lose access to the feature without prior warning. At some point, font sync just quietly stops working. In this case, users have to purchase new hardware to be able to continue to use the feature even though their old system would be perfectly capable of performing the tasks they need to perform on a daily basis. When purchasing perpetual licenses for fonts and software, this would not be an issue.
