When you activate or deactivate a FontAgent® set, you activate or deactivate all the fonts in the set so they are available for use in your Mac applications. Wherever FontAgent displays a set, it also displays an activation status switch that appears in one of the states shown below.
Activation Indicators
Activated
All the fonts in the set are active and ready for use. To deactivate all the fonts in the set, click the slider.
Deactivated
All the fonts in the set are inactive. To activate all the fonts in the set, click the slider.
Partially Activated
Some of the fonts in the set are activated and some are not. To activate all the fonts, click the slider. To deactivate all of them, click it again.
Shared Set
The fonts contained in the set have been shared to the cloud so other users or computers running FontAgent can use them.
Some applications update their Font menus as they run, so newly activated fonts appear automatically after a short delay. Other apps load their list of available fonts only as they start up, so you must relaunch the apps for their Font menus to show newly activated fonts.
Startup Sets
You can also tell FontAgent to activate any set when you start up your system. FontAgent displays a curved up-arrow to the right of the set’s name and places a checkmark next to the Startup Set command in the Tools menu.
