Abstract: Systems and methods for activating and/or managing fonts allow users to selectively activate individual fonts from inside a multi-font suitcase by separating the individual fonts from a multi-font suitcase file. The separated font may then be saved in a font management “vault” or file that activates only the fonts desired and selected by the user. In this manner, individual fonts can be activated from a font suitcase file without requiring that the entire suitcase's set of fonts be activated and/or added to the font management vault. Users may designate and select different fonts, including different fonts from different foundries (and included in different multi-font suitcases) for a single electronic document (e.g., different fonts for different typeface types, etc.) or use in an application program. These features provide repeatability and predictability in electronic document rendering processes.
