Font Forum

We are in 2024 now, and I still need a better way to search and filter (by certain glyphs contained in fonts). And to store such a filter and use it any time. And best would be to be able to apply any filter on top of any group. So groups could be for content-features, like "suitable for a cert...

Yes, thank you. I found this feature a while ago, maybe in the forum. This is how I can see the fonts. Now how can I filter them please? I have 12000 fonts on my machine, and 1719 are marked as "active". I would need to create a group or a tag or something. I mean a way to store so that I ...

We need this character "narrow non-breaking space" for French typography, and for a certain other language, based on French system. This need comes up again and again in my work-flow. And often it concerns not a technical character but specific sets of rare vowels too. In the write-up for ...

I have a separate free tool to find all fonts which can serve a certain need, for example can display a specific minority language. I would muchly love to have this feature inside MainType please, so that I can first find the useful fonts and then assign them to a group, load, unload etc. The tool i...

Need this - or a search tool - to find fonts for minority languages.

In MainType, seems you do the "adding" via drag and drop: Select one or more fonts in a list and drag them unto a group that you have previously created.

I had to look around for a while until I found out. I hope that helps.

Awesome, I am here to help, as I need my custom samples.

Nothing against that brown fox, but I am working with other languages...

It works just fine here, so it is hard to find a solution if we can not reproduce the issue. We will contact you to see if we can further look into it. Where are those default sample texts stored? And where would my custom sample texts be stored by MainType? My setup is such that all my Windows and...

What is your Windows version please?

Mine is Version 1909 build 18363.1082

On my installation, no sample has worked so far. I can type anything I want into the box, but upon "OK" or "Apply" it never gets saved or applied. If you want a sample try this: === Heinz Zaske. agkec ilI bongo === If you want a real example - also not working, try this: === ɖƉ ŋ...

Freshly purchased and not working: Urgently need a custom Text Sample for our project, working with a minority language. I can open the window Options and can open the tab Text Samples. I can click Add and I can give a new Title and custom Sample Text. But it will never store/save/hold, whatever I t...

Me too. Just paid my - not trivial - fee for this tool and now I want to create a custom sample text for a minority language.

The window lets me work my sample text, but nothing gets stored. All my work just lost every time I try. This is a bad bug.
