Illustrator CC Plugins: CC DEVELOPER TOOLS?

I just had a nerve-wracking experience.

 

I've used FontAgent Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.4) for years, and have come to depend on its exellent font management capabilities. But today, I began to have trouble with a particular font. The font is in perfect condition (no errors reported or repairs needed - it displays perfectly in the Finder) but even though it was activated like all my other active fonts, Illustrator CC couldn't SEE it, so I couldn't USE it.

 

I restarted the computer, but this didn't help. Then Ilustrator began bombing (with the full error log), and it became impossible to run Illustrator CC at all.

 

So I uninstalled Illustrator CC, and downloaded it again and installed it again. But it still crashed on app start.  :-(

 

So I decided to run it from my bootable backup drive, and it ran FINE. At this point, I ran it again from my primary boot drive and it ran FINE. Go figure.

 

In the mean time, I contacted Insider Software (makers of FontAgent Pro and plugins for Adobe apps), to see if they were working on an update to be more compatible with Creative Cloud apps. They are, BUT ... apparently Adobe hasn't released the "CC" DEVELOPER TOOLS yet, so they CANNOT finish their "CC" update of this indispensible plug-in.

 

Um, what's going on, Adobe???
