Isn't there any way to browse? For me, it would be a huge undertaking to recreate everything within the font library. I probably have over 400,000 fonts, all neatly organized in folders by designer, foundry and/or style. I just want to be able to use MainType to view the fonts within my folders.....

I just upgraded to 4.0 and I'm pretty frustrated. I want to be able to browse folders like I did in MainType 3.0 but have no idea how to do that....I'm just about at the point of uninstalling 4.0 and going back to 3.0....help~

I don't think that's what I'm looking for. In the attached font, the drop down in the font settings within Font Creator is blank. Bring up the same font in Main Type. In the information panel, under general, the foundry is identified as Signfonts. That's what I'm trying to find in Font Creator..... ...

Hello All,
In Main Type, in the Information pane under General there is a listing for Foundry.
Using Font Creator, how can I modify that info? Actually I want to add the foundry name to several fonts so they will sort properly by foundry.
Clear as mud????
Thanks for any and all help..

Is it just me????
I'm using Windows XP.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. It's especially bothersome when I'm working with dings or large font files.....

Thanks - got it now!

I did see that thread but I was totally lost. What is em value? Where do I change this value as per the instructions? Isn't there a way to globally change glyph sizes in Glyph Transformer?

I like to use Fontstruct.com to start the process of creating a font. However, sometimes the glyphs are really small when I open the font in Font Creator (6.0.1 build 108). How can I make the glyphs larger without resizing each one individually? Thanks! Diane (sorry if this has been explained elsewh...

Unfortunately I still have the same issue with Acrobat Distiller.....any other ideas?

Thank you! I just sent an email requesting that link. I will report back after test driving the new version....

Hello! I have been using Main Type to organize my gazillion fonts. The only issue I have is I keep getting a pop-up window telling me Acrobat Distiller needs to shut down. It doesn't cause any major problems (that I know of) but is really really annoying - Main Type processing slows way down right b...

Oops! never mind - I figured out what I was doing wrong.......
