Fonts List

Click the Fonts button to reveal the Fonts Info section.

The Fonts area will display a list of the fonts used in the document or by placed images. FlightCheck forms this list by examining the text characters used in each story, and scanning all EPSF images for their references to fonts. Any item on the Fonts list which appears in red means FlightCheck has deter-mined some sort of problem exists based on the Grounds Controls.

Font Status Icons
The 5 columns under the Status section will display various icons informing you of the status and usage of each font.

 	The System icon informs you that the font is currently active. A red icon indicates the font is inactive or cannot be located.
 	The fonts database icon means the font is not currently active, but can be found in the Fonts Database.
 	The embedded font icon means the font resides inside the EPSF, Postscript or PDF file being checked.
 	The font file icon represents the suitcase file in which the font resides. A red icon indicates the suitcase file cannot be found.
 	The printer font file icon represents the font’s printer file. A red icon indicates the printer file cannot be found. A “-” dash character means a printer font will not be required for printing (TrueType™ fonts).
 	The document icon means the font is used in a text story somewhere within the document.
 	The image icon means the font is referenced in an EPSF image.

Font Name
This column will display the name of the font. If a name is displayed
in red then this indicates FlightCheck has detected some sort of problem regarding this font in general.

Printer Font Filename
This column will display the printer font filename. A “-” dash character means a printer font will not be required for printing (TrueType™ fonts). A red name means the file cannot be located. Printing a document when a printer font file is missing will usually result in a completely unwanted or unexpected printout as the font will most likely be substituted (commonly with the dreaded font “Courier”).

Font Style
The Style column will inform you if a style has been applied to the font. Some fonts have built-in styled versions, which usually print just fine, but in other cases where the font has no equivalent style, FlightCheck will consider the usage of such a typeface to be an “error”.

Font Type/Version/Manufacturer
These columns will inform you of the font’s type, such as Type 1, TrueType™, Multiple Masters (“MM”), etc., as well as the font’s version number (if known) and the name of the manufacturer of the font (also if known).

Font Info Window
You can double-click a font name on the list to view additional information regarding that particular font.

Note that when the Font Info window is on the screen you can simply single-click another font on the list to view its info.

Use Fonts Database
The Use Fonts Database checkbox instructs FlightCheck to look into the Fonts Database for a font whenever it appears to be missing or is not currently active at the time of the examination.
