I think it's a good idea to convert all your ps1 type fonts to .otf fonts. MAkes life easier
Did this many years ago and don't regret.

There are no limits. Can you be more specific with your issues, as right now it only confuses me ;-) Confuses me to :o In Main Type I have 2 main Font folders. One containing truetype fonts and the other otf. I always make a dubble set for each font... one .ttf and one .otf. The .ttf fonts I use as...

Hi, noticed when installing the latest new font that it doesn't appear in the font folder when "Refresh folder"? When checking the actual folder it contains 8066 otf font files, but the same folder in Main Type shows only 8029 fonts ? The latest font family I installed contained 6 different weights ...

A red dot means the font is loaded by an external application and MainType cannot determine where it is located. The font cannot be unloaded through MainType. Unload it through the external application and if you are not able to do this, you could try a reboot. Hi Erwin, thanks for answering. Thoug...

If you upgrade to MainType 9.0 that should solve this problem if I have understand the replies in the linked thread correctly. Hi Bhikkhu, I solved the issue with upgrading to 9.0, but now when trying to install a new font "Dephiana" I get a similar problem again. When trying to activate the font I...

Sorry... saw the other threads about this now... but can't figure out where the fonts are installed from the Microsoft Store?

Using MainType 8.0 Pro Just tested to install a font family from "Microsoft Store"... I get the font in the MainType list for installed fonts but marked with a red dot in front? The font appears in all the software that I use; Adobe suite, LibreOffice etc etc... But it doesn't appear in the Windows ...

Ok, thanks

Any progress

We're working on it, but it takes time.

Ohhh , that's great. Do you have a timeplan? Just apr for a hint

Hi, I have asked if you are going to implement "Variable Font" managing earlier. Now it's coming fast on the web. I know it's a big step, but it's good to know if I shall wait for it... or looking for another tool to handle just variable fonts? Look at this link: https://www.creativebloq.com/feature...

Have generated some woff2 fonts now and works as a charm, I like the way you solved it. Make sense to me.
Thanks Erwin and staff.

Hi. I'm a little curious. When I use Google Fonts I download and make web fonts, then I use them as @fontface fonts. What will be the benefit of having Google Fonts linked to "MainType"?

I understand your point, but I still think it will be confusing for people who try to export woff, and can then exclude woff within that very same dialog. People who only need ttf/otf can use this per font: export-ttf-otf.png For people who want to export all opened fonts, your solution to delete w...
