Quote from: david on June 06, 2012, 03:12:58 PMI have our base fonts as a set named "start up" and are always on, so they are left alone and any other fonts are added as a "temp". All of my guys have been trained to not jack with the stuff I set up.

I tend to get angry.

Sounds like me and my Acrobat toolbar. Fur flies if anyone changes it.

if I ran the dept. it would be a rule that would be enforced. The person who does run the department doesn't enforce any rules that are not a direct annoyance to him.

Cleaning up my fonts.
I have some fonts I always leave in there
but the job specific fonts I remove when done
but a lot of those fonts are still in the library,
most of the file path shows that they are missing.

So my question is why are they still there when I remove them?
I right click and remove set and contained fonts

could it be I need to deactivate before removing?

I don't like fonts in my library - uses up too many resources and slows things down. Did you try this (after deactivating)? (see screenshot)

Are you removing them from the sets, or are you removing them from the library itself? FEX sets work a lot like iTunes playlists (or placed images in InDesign). The fonts listed there are just references to fonts in the library.

Just another thought, but you'll have to reboot afterwards...

You can always run the cleaning tools, specifically the cache.

Our incomings are so PDF'y these days that I don't use FEX that much. Any fonts that don't auto-activate as fonts in the 'Document Fonts' folder I drop into the Indy 'Fonts' folder. Used to be a bit obsessed with FEX.  :shrug:

I've been doing the "document fonts" thing for a while as well. Don't have to do anything, just double click to open the ID file and forget the fonts!
