If you're a brand new foundry with us ✨
If you joined us by filling out the foundry application process through Monotype Font Platform, then any fonts approved in Monotype Font Platform will be automatically sent to all our sites (MyFonts, Fonts.com, FontShop, and Linotype.com) as well as made available for the Monotype sales teams to offer to clients for offline orders. When you submit fonts, you'll see a section that looks like this, letting you know where your fonts are being released:

You're good to go! Your fonts will soon be available on all sites and our direct sales channel.
We are in the process of updating our font management system, which will allow fonts submitted through Monotype Font Platform to go to multiple sites and sales channels (previously, it only sent fonts to MyFonts). In order to accomplish this, we are migrating the font data for all our foundries into this new system. We're taking great care while doing this (which means it's not a quick process) but we are making excellent progress and aim to be done with this by the end of Q3 2021. Once your foundry has been migrated, here's what happens:
- We'll release all your fonts to all sites and our direct sales channel automatically.
If you already have your fonts on all our sites already, this may not impact you. If you have older data in some sites and newer data in others, the most recent font data from MyFonts will be used everywhere. - Any new fonts you submit in Monotype Font Platform will go to the listed sites and channels.
You'll see the "Channels" section (see above image) in the submission when this is happening. - Any edits or updates you make in Monotype Font Platform will go to the listed sites and channels.

If you're a foundry that's been with us a while, but you're not on the latest agreement 🙀
Aw no! You must be on our latest distribution agreement for this to occur. Older MyFonts agreements only allow us to release your fonts to MyFonts. Read more about our latest agreement and feel free to email us if you have any questions! You can sign the agreement in Monotype Font Platform.
