This stamp font has two “weights”, one with the letters and the another with a selection of extras. The letters version (called “Sans” ) needs to be the default in Adobe menus, but the “Extras” version is. How do I fix this? I have tried making the letters version the Regular, and the extras version Heavy and Extended, but this does not alter the default.
Adobe menus sort static fonts:
- by width class
- by weight class
- by style linking (though not always reliably)
- alphabetically
In that order. So you can take control by adjusting any of these factors.

I’ve made the Letters version lighter, more condensed and the Extras version an italic, but the Extras still appear as the default:
Are you using the Adobe Fonts folder?
You’re not looking at the actual font menu, but at the suggestions menu.
It is the font menu, not the suggestions menu – but importing into the Adobe Fonts folder has worked! Thanks. The peculiar thing was that the font was updating fine each time I reinstalled it before – but only the font order wasn’t. The font order must be stored somewhere else, where it sticks. Anyway, all works fine now. Thanks, Rainer.
The font menu looks like this:
With a separate style menu, and it is the order in that style menu that counts.
What your screenshot shows is the contextual families menu. Once you start searching in the field, you get suggestions for the individual fonts in alphabetic order:
What counts is the style menu, just below the families or in the Character panel:
It was wrong in both those places (and in the long drop-down list in the separate Adobe Type panel and in the ‘recent fonts’ part at the top which is where I was concentrating) but is now correct everywhere
