Question

Where do I find the font "Myriad Pro"?  

I have a document I am trying to update that is done in this font and cannot find it as a choice anymore since I updated Word.

Answer 1

Myriad Pro is not an open source font. Any free versions you find at sites such as Spectre-4 linked to are pirate copies. There's no guarantee that pirated fonts are a straight substitute for the real thing, especially when they come in TrueType form, which Adobe never releases themselves.

Here are 2 sites where you can obtain Myriad Pro legally:

MyFonts Myriad® Pro

Adobe - Get Fonts

Answer 2

Hi,

From what I can find Myriad Pro is an Adobe TypeKit font. I suspect you may have had one or more adobe programs installed at one point? Which would have installed this font.

There are two ways to go about trying to resolve this problem:

1. Install the font system wide using the relevant MyriadPro.ttf file. This would allow you to use it in Office since it will be seen as a font in Windows.
2. Syncing the font you want using the TypeKit website, unfortunately i'm not sure there is another solution at this time. At least not without finding out what installed it previously.

There are many websites hosting the ttf file, this is just one of them, though I can't speak to its safety:

I hope that solve your problem.
