Adobe Fonts Liberator

Copy Adobe Fonts (OTF) to a folder on your Desktop

https://github.com/pawalan/adobe-fonts-liberator

Problem

Your licensed and activated Adobe Fonts are not accessible for general use in Windows:

1. they are stored (hidden) under %APPDATA%\Adobe\CoreSync\plugins\livetype\r
2. the file names are some sort of ID, which is good for Adobe managing the files, yet not human-readable

Solution

This script copies all activated font files to a new directory Adobe Fonts on your Desktop and renames all of them to their PostScript name. For example, the file 17969 becomes MinionPro-BoldCnItCapt.otf (which includes all cues for font variation, weight, etc.).

After that, you can install the fonts to the Windows font store like all other fonts by right-clicking on the file(s) and selecting Install or Install for all users. The fonts are then available to all your Windows applications.

Requirements

To extract the PostScript name from the font files, otfinfo.exe is needed - it is part of (La)TeX distributions like texLive or MikTex and can also be compiled from sources. This repository contains the binary from the MikTex for Windows distribution.

Configuration

The source and destination directory can be configured at the top of the script, even though this shouldn't really be needed as the path to the Desktop folder is auto-determined from the user's environment and the Adobe CC fonts directory is located under a standard path in the user's %APPDATA%.

Kudos

This script is essentially a PowerShell port of kalaschik/adobe-fonts-revealer - Grüße und Danke nach Leipzig!
