typekit fonts

i've read the posts about how to integrate typekit fonts via php and will start working on that.  in the meantime, it seems that typekit fonts do not appear in the lightroom preview.  they are not in the lightroom font menu (i'm guessing this is an adobe issue?). 

1. is there anyway for the typeset fonts to appear in the preview on lightroom?
2. if i specify the font family name first for 'block quote' does that change the font for the text box in the home page?

thanks

Re: typekit fonts

1) are the fonts already on your system?

2) what you specify for block quote won't change base font

Re: typekit fonts

i have lots of fonts on the system, only a few show in lightroom.  i specifically want just one adobe typekit font, which i downloaded (via CC) and is on my system (and appears in photoshop).  the font family for block quote says
Cardo, Georgia, Palatino, 'Droid Serif', 'Times New Roman', 'Roboto Slab', serif

i just added cardo, which is the font i want. the font appears in Muse, but doing a gallery in muse is not going to happen...

Re: typekit fonts

From what I can tell with a quick Googling, typekit fonts are not usable in Lightroom. So no previewing in LR.

Re: typekit fonts

If the font is installed on your system and accessible to your applications at large, then you should be able to use it by writing it into the font-family field in accordance with standard CSS rules. The plugin does not populate its font list from your system's installed fonts, so if that's where you're looking for it, then you're misunderstanding how fonts work in the plugins.

Re: typekit fonts

I just tried syncing a couple of Typekit fonts to my system. Seems to work fine in Lightroom (despite what my earlier search results implied)
