Is it possible to turn of Auto-activate fonts option in XD?

The new auto-activate fonts forced ‘feature’ —advertised with pathetic triumph on the welcome screen after updating— is another arrogant absurdity and should never be activated by default nor forced on users. I’ve managed to turn it off on InDesign (Preferences/File handling) but not on XD (e.g.). How can users turn this annoyance off entirely?

Oh sorry I think I missed something, yes you're right, I searched also for feature requests for XD but there was only a request for auto font activation using suitcase, which is not necessary now as fonts are automatically activated and that's where you're having an issue as I see it 😅 You might want to create a feature request like InDesign has on XD user voice: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests

Thanks. However, I don’t see how is that supposed to help, since auto-activacion is conveniently ommited in the article. Did I miss something?
