Once the database is created, FAP asks if you’d like to add fonts by optimizing the Fonts Control Panel or by importing a folder of fonts (Figure 1). You can accept the default location (C:FAP_Data) or choose a different location on your system. When you first launch FAP, it tells you that it must create its own database. In addition, there’s no secure database comparable to the Vault in Suitcase for Windows. On the other hand, it lacks font auto activation, a major detraction. FAP can also validate fonts upon import, which is a nice built-in troubleshooting feature, and its Font Compare and Font Player preview options are superb.

You can dump them all in your Control Panel Fonts folder (Windows) or one of the three system folders (Mac), but this is not only extremely taxing on your system, it can overpopulate your application font menus and result in endless scrolling. The downside is that managing a multitude of fonts can become a daunting task for both you and your computer. The more typefaces you have, the more creative options you can explore. You may work with hundreds or even thousands of fonts. Please let us know if that makes a difference.This article is excerpted from InDesign Magazine, June/July 2007 (Issue 18).
