Deleting Fonts from Your Database
Deleting fonts permanently deletes the selected fonts from your FontAgent® database. To do so, follow these steps:
- Select one or more fonts.
- Control-click and select Delete from the contextual menu.
- Confirm that you wish to delete the selected fonts.
There is an important difference between deleting a font from your FontAgent® database and removing a font from a FontAgent set. When you delete a font from your database, you delete only the copy of the font that FontAgent made when you imported it. FontAgent does not delete the original font file that you imported from your Mac’s file system. Therefore, you can re-import the deleted font into FontAgent if you want to use it later.
Removing Fonts from Sets
Removing a font from a set does not delete the physical font file on your hard drive. You can safely remove fonts from sets without worrying about permanently deleting fonts.
Select a font or group of fonts in a set and select the Edit > Delete menu command. FontAgent removes the selected fonts from the set, but leaves their font files in your FontAgent database. To re-associate a font with a set, drag the font back onto the set’s name in the Sets Sidebar.
You cannot remove fonts from System Sets since macOS and your applications require those fonts.
Removing Fonts from Subscription Sets
You cannot remove fonts from Adobe Fonts sets and other externally-managed subscription sets since those fonts are managed outside the FontAgent application. To remove and deactivate those fonts, use Adobe Fonts or similar applications you used to activate the fonts originally.
Removing Fonts from Smart Sets
You cannot remove fonts from Smart Sets, since they are sets of fonts that comply with criteria that you specify. To change the fonts in a Smart Set, you must change the Smart Set’s criteria.
