Retype (beta) in Illustrator 28.1 stuck at 4% "downloading"
I'm attempting to use the Retype (beta) tool in Illustrator, pop up informed me that a 400mb download is required, Adobe Desktop Service connects to server and downloads 550MB of data but the progress bar in Illustrator is stuck on 4% and claims to still be downloading.
If this feature works and can match fonts effectively it will be a gamechanger for me. The current solution I use is whatfontis.com and the interface is terrible and full of unnecessary steps and popups. Thank you for incorporating this tool!

I supposed you tried to restart the machine and checked if you have enough space? Sorry, I just have to ask it.
Speaking of workarounds — this one is considered the best of them: https://en.likefont.com/
If I count how many very unpopular fonts I found with it... That’d be more than a hundred.Speaking of Retype — it searches only within Adobe Fonts library and your local library, that is installed fonts. It can’t work fine with rotated or distorted texts also. It can serve well in some cases, but hardly succeeds with others.
