A font library is a collection of fonts that are shared for members of your Fonts team. You create and delete libraries and manage user membership through Connect Admin.

To manage libraries and their membership:

  1. Log in to Connect Admin.

  2. Click the Admin tab.

  3. Click Font Libraries in the sidebar.

Adding a Font Library

  1. Click Add Library.

  2. Enter a name for the font library, then click Create.

Typically you create a font library for a specific purpose: a type of job (such as newsletters) or a specific client, for example. Give the font library an appropriate name.

Deleting a Font Library

To delete a font library, move the mouse pointer inside the library listing, then click  Delete Library. In the confirmation dialog, click Delete.

Important: When you delete a library, the fonts in that library will not be accessible to any users. Make sure to back up the fonts in the library before you delete it. An Administrator can back up fonts in a font library through Suitcase Fusion.
