Some Windows applications install their own fonts, and they often place them in specific folders. When this occurs, you might notice one of the following conditions:
- Fonts listed in the Fonts menu vary from application to application.
- Those fonts appear in the application’s Font menu, even though you haven’t activated them.
To maintain application compatibility, FontAgent® leaves fonts in non-system fonts folder where they reside and does not move them into your FontAgent database.
Subscription Fonts
Adobe and other font foundries give you the option of licensing their fonts through subscription services. Some of these services make the fonts available in standard file system locations, some in proprietary locations and others in hidden locations. Each of these services has its own font activation software that runs independent of Windows and FontAgent.
Special sets in FontAgent contain fonts activated by Adobe Fonts services so you can use those fonts just like any other fonts you have imported into FontAgent.
Beware of Moving Application Fonts
If you want to manage application-specific fonts, please check with the application’s developer to determine which fonts can be moved without crippling the app. If fonts can be moved, you can import them into your FontAgent database and manage them alongside your other fonts.
