OpenType flavor issue with Helvetica LT Pro

The family of Helvetica LT Pro recently added to Adobe Fonts is serving the TrueType flavor of the Roman style only, while the other styles are Postscript flavor. This is causing font conflicts.

    On further investigation, I found the culprit. It turns out that, yes, the Adobe Fonts has updated the Helvetica LT Pro family and now all 6 styles are properly CFF, but I have been using FontExplorer as my font manager and it apparently caches metadata for the fonts it manages, including Adobe Fonts, and it was still reporting that the Helvetica LT Pro Roman was a TrueType font. I deleted FEX's cache and all is good now! Sorry for the confusion!

    Hi Ranjini. The issues still exists as of today. Helvetica Pro Roman is still being served as TrueType instead of CFF PS. It still messes up the font menu in InDesign (note: 2 instances!), and does not preview, nor will it allow it to be applied to text. (I did a font cache purge and reboot just to make sure)
