Fonts Not Appearing in InDesign 2025 Despite Being Activated in FontBase

Hi, I’m new to using FontBase and InDesign, so I hope this isn’t a silly question. I have all my fonts activated in FontBase to test them, but when I open InDesign, only a few of them appear. I can’t figure out why. Even though all my fonts are installed and synced, they don’t show up in InDesign. I’ve checked and my synchronization is up to date. Could anyone help me figure out what might be wrong? Sorry if it’s a simple issue, but I’m really stuck. Thank you in advance for your help!


Hello @mycutecorner, thank you for your post and welcome to the forum :pray:
A question, if I may, to better understand what’s going on - is FontBase open when you’re launching InDesign?

Thank you again,

Yes is open, the fonts active are only eleven but in the indesign I can see a lot of fonts

Thank you for the additional information :pray:
I see now. FontBase’s “Active” collections only shows fonts activated in FontBase, which does not include the fonts pre-installed on the OS or any other fonts installed manually via a file explorer or other methods.
From this last message it seems like the current situation is the opposite of what you’ve described in the initial post - is that correct?

Thank you again,
