Preferences->Fonts->Fonts in Document Path


If you are dealing with a packaged or collected job and want to know if the person sent all of the fonts that are required for the job, you can uncheck all but the <Document Path>. When you do this, FlightCheck looks in the same folder as the file you are preflighting and if it finds a folder it will look inside of it for fonts. So regardless of whether you call the font folder Fonts, or MyFonts or JobFonts, FlightCheck will tell you if the fonts are present. 


Another cool thing about this feature is that the fonts in the <Document Path> do not need to be Active for FlightCheck to report about them or Collect them. As long as FlightCheck knows where the fonts are, it can deal with them.

If you use this method, please make sure that you go to the Fonts Ground Control area and Uncheck the “Inactive Fonts” and “Inactive Used Fonts” Ground Controls. Otherwise all of the fonts found in the <Document Path> will be flagged as Inactive and Inactive Used Fonts. The exception to this would be if you activate fonts "in place" and you have activated the fonts in the <Document Path> folder using a 3rd party font management tool.
