This read-write property is an array of Font Family names which is used by the CharPanel and others to initialize the favorites font list. |

app.fonts.substitutedFontReplacementMatchPolicy |
This read-write property is an enum that modifies or disables the automatic replacement of missing or substituted fonts with acceptable actual fonts. |

app.fonts.fontsDuplicateByPostScriptName |
This read-only property is an array in which each element is an array of Font objects, where the 0th element Font object is considered the primary Font object for the given PostScript name. |

app.fonts.pollForAndPushNonSystemFontFoldersChanges |
This function will trigger a check against the known non-system font folders, and if it's recognized that there has been a change, an asynchronous update to the font environment will be scheduled to process this change. |

Importing files directly into a folder in the Project panel in After Effects keeps things organized, reduces clutter, and makes managing assets both easier and more efficient.
Automate file naming with a new property and two new presets
Setting custom names and locations for your output files using the Output To options now includes two new file name presets – Comp Name and Aspect Ratio, which incorporates the composition name and its aspect ratio into the file name, and Render Next To Project File, which saves the rendered output in the same directory as the project file.
Additionally, a new property – Aspect Ratio is added when you use the File Name and Location Template dialog to create a custom naming convention for your output files.
