[ID-4255870] Document Fonts available even if not active
Working on an indesign document that has its own “Document Fonts” folder that contains fonts specific to that document (not activated anywhere else), then switching to a new document that does not have any “Document Fonts” folder, the fonts of the previous document are still available, but if I close indesign completely and then reopen the new document the fonts are no longer available.
This is not correct, fonts that are not activated or not present in the “Document Fonts” folder specific to that document, should not be available for other documents that do not reside in the same folder.
The old version of indesign (19.5) didn't do this.
Furthermore, if you export a PDF of a document that contains a non-activated font, but which is displayed correctly due to the above, in the generated PDF the font will be replaced by a system font (Minion Pro, Times, etc.)

Thanks for the information, I hope for an update of the final version (not prerelease or beta) as soon as possible, cause I work in a team and I prefer not to switch to a non official version. -

The InDesign Prerelease Release Notes for PreRelease build (20.1.0.28) of InDesign in the System Requirements for macOS do not list the newest macOS versions 15.x (Sequoia).
Does this mean that PreRelease build (20.1.0.28) of InDesign does not run on this System version?Indesign 20.0
