What happens when I import fonts?
After you click Find & Validate Fonts, FontAgent Pro for Windows:

•    Finds all fonts in the specified folder and subfolders.
•    Runs extensive integrity tests to check for corrupt fonts.
•    Identifies duplicate fonts and imports only unique fonts.
•    Identifies all unmatched PostScript fonts and does not import them.
•    Stores important descriptive information about each font in its database.
•    Creates a Problem Fonts folder inside your FontAgent Pro database folder, and places fonts failing integrity tests into subfolders according to the nature of the failure.

Feedback on Fonts Found and Tested
The first feedback you will see is the Fonts Found and Tested dialog.


 

This dialog summarizes the results of the font integrity tests run by FontAgent Pro. Each font is classified into one of the following categories.

Diagnosis Description Import Status
Corrupt fonts Found internal problems with the font data inside the file. Not importable
Incomplete font Did not find all the required files that make up the PostScript font. Not importable
File errors Found one or more errors in the file structure of the font file. Not importable
Fonts already in library Found a copy of the font in the FontAgent Pro library you selected as the target library. Not importable
Duplicate fonts Found more than one copy of the same font in the selected folder. Import one instance of font if checkbox is checke
Importable fonts Found no problems with the font, so it is ready to be imported. Import font if checkbox is checked




Selecting Which Fonts to Import
By default, FontAgent Pro for Windows imports all importable fonts and one instance of duplicate fonts. To skip importing some of these fonts, uncheck the checkbox next to their name.

When you are finished selecting which fonts to import, click Import Fonts and FontAgent Pro displays a dialog showing you the progress of your import request. When the process completes, an Import Results dialog appears as shown below.
 
Review the dialog to verify the results of your import request. To save the report as a text file, click Save a copy…, and then enter a name for the new file. When you are finished reviewing the results dialog, click OK to continue working.

Using this importing approach, FontAgent Pro:
•    Removes all corrupt, incomplete and duplicate fonts so you can depend on the integrity of your fonts
•    Preserves your original font files
•    Adds only unique fonts so you don’t have to worry about searching for duplicates manually
•    Ensures that you do not import duplicate copies of fonts into a library
