Custom Fonts
The custom fonts product offer enables IT Admins to share OTF or TTF fonts with their users. However, the admin must ensure they have the correct font license.
The first step in creating a custom font profile is to add a Product Admin to the custom font product.
The Custom Fonts Product Admin can then visit
https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/fonts/add/enterprise/ and upload their fonts.
The Custom Fonts product can then be assigned to a Group or via automatic product license assignment.
