Forgive me if there’s been a discussion of this previously, but has there ever been a consideration of a “Save as package” option in Dorico comparable to what is currently possible in InDesign, which bundles not only the file itself, but all fonts used in the project?
I realize there are obvious copyright questions, but Adobe has managed this somehow. I don’t know how.
With frequent collaboration, the only pain point I regularly encounter is matching fonts. This would be really wonderful.
No, it’s not something we’ve ever really considered, for precisely these kinds of reasons. Perhaps we could add a command to generate a list of all the fonts used by the project, so that it would at least take the guesswork out of sorting out what you need to send to your collaborators.
That would actually be completely sufficient for me! The automatic bundling is not really necessary. Thanks for considering.
You’ll know better than me, @dan_kreider, but I thought InDesign doesn’t package any Adobe TypeKit Fonts (e.g. those that come with the subscription).
The font EULAs from ‘the big three’ – Adobe, Monotype and Linotype – (back in the day) used to say that you could send a copy to a bureau, agency or freelancer, if they confirm that they have a licence themselves; or if you include them as one of your 5 ‘seats’, and they promise to use it temporarily and definitely never keep hold of a copy, ever, honest – pinky swear. 
But yeah: it was curious, at least, that Adobe provided the packaging feature in ID.
In the 90s, fonts were swapped like candy between publishers, prepress houses and freelancers. The advent of PDFs wiped out the filmsetters and ‘bureau’ work, and desktop computers became powerful enough to do all the work in-house; so there was much less font traffic.
I have used the package feature regularly but hadn’t even thought to check if the package omitted Adobe subscription fonts. It would make sense; Adobe isn’t in the habit of practicing charity.
Most of the back-and-forth that has benefited from the package feature for me lies with custom fonts. “You can open the file, but it’s going to look funky until you install my Super-Spiffy Font.”
Aren’t fonts usually embedded in PDFs nowadays, in a compressed, non-retrievable form?
Yes, but I’m talking about collaboration with Dorico files.
