Ignore fonts option not working

Post by vegtypography »

Hello, how can I get my ignore fonts option to work? It won't ignore any fonts and I get a "failed" message when I try. Reason given: "still active."

So if a font is present and installed, isn't that by definition an active font? What other kind of font is going to be ignored except an installed and active font?

Other info:

MainType Version 11 (free edition) 64-bit

FMS Proxy is running.

Using Windows 8.1 OS

It is by design. You can only ignore fonts that are not active, so first uninstall those and then try again.

Oh dang. I wanted to ignore all the system fonts in my library. If I don't like a font, I just uninstall it.
