If the font is already selected and I type something else after it, it defaults to Myriad I have to keep reselecting my font. Has anyone experienced ![Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 09.48.48](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/c/fcb93ab993ac6e39629b69c71b27d9d06b3b477c.png) this before / know what I’m doing wrong? ---

Thanks Georg! No, I’ve been downloading and installing in Fontbook manually. I’m sharing the file with other people so it needs to work that way too. ---

Please use the Adobe Fonts folder. Otherwise you get those, or even worse problems. ---

I’ve never had to do this with any other font file (that I haven’t made myself). Why is it not possible to import in the usual way? ---

For testing in Adobe apps, the fonts folder is the much easier and quicker option. Try it and you won’t go back.
