Keynote fonts not reading correctly Mac OS Monterey

Just updated to the latest and greatest MacBook Pros, but I'm noticing in some keynote presentations that the fonts imported through Adobe Fonts have extra extra tight character spacing—the characters basically overlap.


This is only with the Regular version of the fonts, all others seem to be ok.


Is this an OS thing, a Keynote thing, or an Adobe thing?


thanks in advance

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

It seems to be a font cache problem. You can temporarily fix it by clearing the font cache but the problem will reappear after a while. Execute these commands in Terminal to clear the cache:


  1. $ sudo atsutil databases -remove
  2. Enter your system password and hit return.
  3. $ atsutil server -shutdown
  4. $ atsutil server -ping
  5. Reboot
