It used to be easy. Your fonts were in a folder somewhere and used activation software (the word 'suitcase' meant something quite different to graphic designers than it did to holidaymakers) to activate and deactivate for use fonts with a click.
If you use the Creative Cloud apps today (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and countless others) working with fonts is very different. There are several methods to access and activate fonts, but which is best, and what's actually happening on your system (and beyond) when you use them?
