Having paid cancellation fees after being extremely careful making subscription for specific products so as to avoid the same, I am never going to touch Adobe or it's products anymore. Affinity solves all our problems.
> Arial — A universal favorite for presentations and business documents<p>Because it used to* be available out of the box, everywhere. Not because it’s such a great typeface. I can’t imagine the sequence of short-sighted enterprise design decisions that puts someone in a position where they have to use Arial through Adobe Fonts.<p>* I guess that’s no longer true because of Android?
It's amazing to me when wildly successful companies have a great thing going and choose to try to squeeze customers instead of giving them reasons to be loyal, and then self-destruct.<p>Adobe and Unity both come to mind.<p>I don't think I've seen a brand increase margins at the cost of customer satisfaction, successfully.
> These fonts — along with more than 30,000 others — are already included in your Adobe Creative Cloud membership.<p>For those wondering about pricing.
lots of complaints here (for good reason) but really I have to applaud any try at staying in business with high quality fonts -- Adobe and others, too. The economics don't make sense for what is being handled. Keep trying new approaches..
To use Arial when Proxima Nova or Helvetica are available is a deeply hideous act. Why on earth does Adobe sound proud to announce that Arial is <i>finally</i> in their lineup?!
I don’t know a single designer or developer that likes Adobe. There have been so many hostile decisions, so many dark UX patterns.
I am happy to live an Adobe-free life!
As far as I'm concerned, there are only 3 fonts: serif, sans serif, and wacky. All serif fonts look the same to me, and all sans serif fonts look the same to me. The wacky fonts - no one would use them for anything except for a birthday party flyer.<p>I am greatly amused whenever someone rants about how Helvetica is beautiful and Arial is terrible. They're the same thing.
