I have been trying to load the Cooperhewitt font family on Windows 7 running Illustrator CS6.

But it fails to load any font from the family most of the time or sometime only few of the fonts from the family can be seen in the font drop down list. What's wrong?

Even on the font download page it says windows can have only 4 basic weights!
Check on the right column.

Is there any way to load all the weights on windows?

Found a temporary solution for Illustrator that works, from github.com/cooperhewitt/cooperhewitt-typeface/issues/4#issuecomment-262857641

Blockquote
Create subfolder with name "Fonts" in the Illustrator Application folder, exemple: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Illustrator CS6Fonts, put in this folder some font files and restart Illustrator. Fonts now are included in the Illustrator font menu.

I'd just use the OTF version and ignore the TTF version. It's Windows TTF which is restricted to 4 faces, but Windows can easily use the OTF version.

The site labeling OTF as a "Mac format" is misleading. OTF is a universal format - but then, so is TTF.
