Activate Just The Fonts You Need

Fonts consume a significant amount of system resources and processing power. Therefore, by activating only the fonts you need, you make your computer and your applications run faster.

Every font you add to your computer uses system resources, devouring a lot more than space on your hard drive. As an operating system starts up, it opens every font it finds, consuming memory, file pointers and other resources. The result? Your system runs slower and can open fewer applications simultaneously. By defining font sets and using them to open only the fonts you need, you save those precious system resources and maximize performance.

In addition, when you open a small number of fonts, the font menus in your applications are much easier to view and scroll. Picking the font you want from a list of five that pops up instantly is infinitely easier than wading through unending lists and pull-right menus to find the right one.

No font manager comes close to the precise control that FontAgent® Pro gives you over your fonts. With a simple click, you can activate or deactivate all the fonts in a library, set, family, or typeface- even individual styles. To help you activate the right font every time, FontAgent Pro lets you set the activation order for various font formats, so you can automatically open a Type 1 version of a font before its TrueType version, or vice versa.

FontAgent Pro takes advantage of Mac OS X to activate fonts based on published Apple guidelines, so it is compatible with all your applications and future Mac OS X releases. In addition, FontAgent Pro activates fonts for the Mac Classic environment so your old Mac OS 9 apps can use the same fonts as your OS X applications.

FontAgent Pro gives you the choice of activating fonts automatically when they are needed in OS X, or manually as you begin working on a project. If you choose auto-activation, FontAgent Pro opens fonts for you when Mac OS X applications ask for them. Nothing could be simpler. Alternatively, you can maintain complete control by manually activating any font, family, typeface, set or library. With FontAgent Pro, you dictate the level of control and simplicity you want.
