Ah, I had to go to View/Panels/Tags for them to show up. The Tags and Tag Search panels weren't part of the interface by default.
What a relief, there they were. Thank you for the solution!

Re: How to transfer Tags
Can anybody help on this? I'm worried that my tags will be lost forever if I upgrade to the new version. It took several hours to organize my fonts and set the tags.

Ok, I went to Tools/Import and Export/Export Tags and Ratings (from version 9, Pro)
Then in my new install on another computer (version 11, Pro), went Tools/Import and Export/Import Font Tags, Ratings and Notes

Here are my Extended settings, any thoughts? What are Panose settings?

How to transfer Tags
Hi,
I am setting up a new computer. When I re-install all my fonts and MainType, I want to be able to keep my same tag system. How do I transfer that over, without having to tag all my fonts all over again?

Font weight not showing in order (in Adobe dropdowns)
I can't figure out why the fonts in this family aren't showing up in order of weight in app dropdowns (Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop) like my other fonts. I've tried to set up the Properties correctly so they show up as: 1. Regular, 2. Bold, 3. Extra Bold. It doesn't make any sense why in the drop...

Viewing Alternate/Special/Swash Characters in Character Panel
Is it possible to view the special/alternative/swash characters of Open Type fonts in the Character panel? For instance, I have a font with several alternate/decorative caps that I would like to see all options laid out in the Character panel, but I only see the 'standard' caps of each letter, and t...

Re: Importing Tags/Ratings Not Working
Oh wait, weirdly they are there now. I had to close out of the program and re-start it. Is that normal, or should they show up immediately?

Re: Importing Tags/Ratings Not Working
I exported them in version 9, then upgraded to v10, uninstalled everything and re-installed v9. Tags were gone and like I said re-importing simply didn't work.
Am I doing it right:
Tools/Import and Export/Import Tags and Rating

Importing Tags/Ratings Not Working
I spent hours tagging all of my fonts, then exported the tags and ratings to an XML file. I had to re-install MainType, and when I went to: Tools/Import and Export/Import Tags and Ratings, and chose my file, nothing happened. It didn't import my previously saved tags. There seems to be no specific d...

Cubic vs. Quadratic
Will converting contours from Cubic to Quadratic (or vice-verse) alter the shape/outline of the glyphs? If I am copy-pasting glyphs from Adobe Illustrator, they will be Quadratic, correct? Any advantage to converting to Cubic if I am exporting the fonts as CFF? And finally, will the fonts look bette...
