Veenix Font Tools

¨

Veenix® Font Tools is a set of Mac OS X  tools
and utilities that allow you to quickly view, sample, print, compare,
activate, install, organize and backup your fonts.

¨

Using the Document Font Activator and Exporter Feature:

The Document Font Activator and Exporter feature allows you to scan documents for font usage and then quickly
activate or export all the necessary document fonts. To use this feature, simply drag and drop a file or folder of files in the Document Font Activator and Exporter window or click the "Open" button. Scanned documents that contain fonts are subsequently listed in the browser window. To view a document's fonts, click on the twist-down arrow to the left of the document. In addition to showing the font name, the font type and status are also shown. (Note: A font status of "Missing" indicates that the necessary font could not be found in your Font List/Database. ) To activate or export all the necessary fonts for a document, click the check mark box next to document name and then click either "Activate Selected" or "Export Selected." Missing fonts can not be activated or exported. To locate missing fonts, you might want to try selecting "Scan Folder or Volume For New Fonts..." from the "Database" menu. Once the scan is complete, click the "Refresh" button in the "Document Font Activator and Exporter" window to update the usage report. 

Supported document file types and font "Scouting":

Font Tools knows how to read many different file types, including native Adobe PhotoShop files, native Adobe InDesign files, native Adobe Illustrator files, and native Adobe PDF files, as well as generic eps, pdf, and tif files. These document types are referred to as "Supported" files types and their font usage is read directly from a known approach to locating fonts within the document. For other file types, Font Tools can use a method called "Scouting." In this process, Font Tools uses your font list as search criteria when scanning a file. Font Scouting can take more time to scan files that the supported method, especially for large documents or if you have a lot of fonts. Additionally, fonts discovered through this process may not produce an all-inclusive list of the necessary fonts since the process is only comparing against your font list.
