When a font is activated through Adobe Fonts, where does it get stored on my computer?
And why doesn't it show up in Font Book?
Background: I recently ran into a situation where I was trying to verify that my CSS @font-family tags were working correctly. I opened Font Book to verify that I did NOT have the font already installed, then proceeded to open my HTML file in Chrome. Everything looked great! But it turned out that I DID have the font installed via Adobe Fonts. So my test was invalid and unfortunately my tags were not setup correctly.

Fonts located in /Library/Fonts are available to all local users of the machine. Fonts installed in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts (during installation of an Adobe application) are only available to Adobe applications.
Open the Creative Cloud desktop app. (Select the icon in your Windows taskbar or the macOS menu bar.) Select the fonts icon in the upper right. Then select Browse Fonts.
In the Fonts window, Right Click in the list of fonts and choose “Install New Font.” Navigate to the folder that contains the fonts you want to install. Select the fonts you want to install. You can click to select one font, Control-click to select several fonts, or Shift-click to select a contiguous group of fonts.
Typekit was officially renamed to Adobe Fonts in October of 2018. With the name change came numerous improvements to the service—no more desktop sync limits, no more web-only fonts and no more pageview limits.
The fonts are located on your machine in the following folders:
Mac:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/plugins/livetype/.r
Windows: C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\plugins\livetype\r
You likely need to make sure you can see hidden/invisible files.
