It takes one of the most annoying steps out of the production process.
There is no need to import the fonts into any system fonts folder, or add them to a third-party font manager and activate them. Imagine this scenario: A service provider receives a packaged InDesign folder - the document and all the assets, images and fonts are included in this folder - and the service provider opens the document and prints it. To the average designer, this might not mean much, but this feature could be a godsend to a prepress technician, or those who want to automate InDesign work-flows. The Package command can generate a Document Fonts folder when you want to share your document or move it to a different computer.įonts activated in this manner do appear in the InDesign Font menu, but are located under a new “Document-only” listing as shown below: This is what it reads in the InDesign help files:įonts in a Document Fonts folder that is in the same location as an InDesign document are temporarily installed when the document is opened.
There is a curious new wrinkle introduced with Adobe InDesign CS 5 concerning font management.Ī new feature debuted with the latest release allows you to locally activate fonts that are located in a folder on the same directory level as an InDesign document in a packaged job folder.
