To display articles and layouts properly within Content Station and Smart Connection, fonts must be installed and activated.

FontExplorer X Pro simplifies both of these tasks.

Activating fonts

The FontExplorer system already has more than 2,000 fonts available. Activating a particular font for use on your computer involves checking a box within FontExplorer X. The video below details the process. <htmlet>activatingfonts</htmlet>

Installing new fonts

Installing individual fonts

If the Art department uses a new font in a layout, you'll need to install that font before activating it. New fonts are located in Elvis. Once you download and unzip the font files, you can either drag them into FontExplorer X or use FontExplorer's import process. The video below details both options and goes into more detail about where to find the fonts on Elvis. <htmlet>installingfonts</htmlet>

Importing a batch of fonts

If you have a bunch of new fonts to install, you can do it in two steps.

1. Drag the folder of fonts onto the font list in FontExplorer.
2. In the sidebar, click "Last Imported" and select all fonts in that group. Click the activate button.

The following video tutorial assumes that someone has compiled all those fonts into a zipped folder, but the process remains the same even if that's not the case. File:Batchfontimport.mp4
