Microsoft has added Adobe Type1 fonts to the list of features that are no longer developed. The company announced that Adobe PostScript Type1 fonts are now deprecated and that a future version of Windows will remove these fonts from the operating system.
The reason for Microsoft’s decision is that Adobe ended support for PostScript Type1 a year and a half ago. Thus, Adobe users will no longer be able to use these fonts in Photoshop 23.0, Illustrator 27.3, InDesign 18.2 and newer versions.
Microsoft recommends that you immediately remove Adobe PostScript Type1 fonts and their dependencies by going to Settings > Personalization > Fonts. It is also stated that developers should test whether their applications work without Adobe Type1 fonts.
The announcement posted on the Microsoft Learn documentation website reads: “Adobe PostScript Type1 fonts have been deprecated and support will be removed in a future version of Windows.
In January 2023, Adobe announced the end of support for PostScript Type1 fonts for its latest software offerings. Select a supported font and remove any dependencies on that font. To view currently installed fonts, go to Settings > Personalization > Fonts. Application developers and content owners should test their applications and data files with Adobe Type1 fonts removed. Contact the application vendor or Adobe for more information.”
