I have an entire font family that is giving me this error when trying to install. I have no similar fonts loaded with any of this family. None are corrupt. I am using v10 and Win 11. So far these are the only 4 fonts that I am having issue with. I have rebooted my pc and fonts still fail to load. I have searched my drives and only have one version of each of these fonts in the correct folder that is linked to MainType. I have tried to Uninstall these 4 fonts (though you can clearly see the circle is blank) and install and still receive the error. Any guidance is appreciated.
No clue how to upload my image. I keep clicking the image at the top, but I don't have a url to add. Its just an image on my pc.

Re: Font Install Fail Similar Loaded
Fonts only need to be in the font vault to install them.
Try a quick search in MainType to find the similar fonts that are already installed.
Delete Fonts.
The Image button is only for online images. To add a local image, upload it as an attachment.

Try the Smart Install option.

What I meant was to enable Smart Install only; like this.
I don't see any easy way to uninstall only the most recently installed fonts.

Sorry if my reply misled you. It was in the early hours of the morning here, and I had no time to investigate thoroughly.
You could also try searching for "Beth" in the quick find field.

Re: Font Install Fail Similar Loaded
I was able to uninstall them, no worries. I have adjusted my folders to your last suggestion but to no avail. I did notice when uninstalling the mass that there are more than just these 4 fonts and all that are included are those affiliated with my Adobe fonts within my Creative Cloud App. I have never had this issue with them before, but as you can see from my two attachments, those that are red dotted do no show when my searching filter is set to the font name. Very strange, but it must have something to do with interferrance with my Typekit fonts. Any advice on how to bring it all together and not have them fight each other?

Re: Font Install Fail Similar Loaded
It looks like there is a conflict with the Creative Cloud app, which is also managing fonts.
Can you uninstall the fonts using Creative Cloud first? I have no experience of using Adobe apps, but I noticed several issues like this with Adobe Applications.

I have deactivated all my TypeKit fonts. but without them, I have no access. I've never had this problem before. I will try to readd them and see what happens.
