Reply To: Document Font feature

As far as I'm aware, the document fonts feature (assuming I'm thinking of the same thing) is supposed to be a helping hand when using shared (packaged) InDesign documents, loading up a font from a nearby directory if it's not yet installed on the computer itself.

If you know in advance which fonts to use for each job, you could theoretically place copies of them in each directory you create for every job, but
A) do you always know in advance which fonts you'll need?
B) would you really want all those font file duplicates on your drives?
