FlightCheck Fonts in Document Path

If you are dealing with a packaged job or collected job and want to know if the person sent all of the fonts 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 to search for fonts. So, whether you call the font folder Fonts, or My Fonts, or Job Fonts, FlightCheck will tell you if the fonts are present. You can select FlightCheck Preferences for font paths in FlightCheck General Preferences and in the FlightCheck Font Preferences Overview.

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 the fonts or collect the fonts from a font location. As long as Markzware 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 Fonts 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.
