❦ Adobe Fonts Revealer

Copy Adobe Fonts (OTF) to your Downloads directory (macOS)
Windows? Check out pawalan’s PowerShell solution here: https://github.com/pawalan/adobe-fonts-liberator

Problem
Your licensed and activated Adobe Fonts are not accessible. (1) They are stored (hidden) under (macOS): $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSync/plugins/livetype/.r/. And (2), the filenames are some sort of id, which is good for Adobe managing the files, yet not human-readable.

Solution
This script copies all activated font files to your Downloads directory and renames all of them to what they represent. For example, the file .17969.otf becomes MinionPro-BoldCnItCapt.otf (which includes all cues for font varition, weight, etc.).

Demo
