Font Forum

Ensure you have unchecked "Show groups recursively".

Then while working with Sync folders, you can copy, paste, and delete fonts through MainType.

The backup and restore feature isn't really meant for sharing a library.

You might want to use a font folder on a shared network drive, so all your computers running the font manager share that same folder.

We are sorry about the inconvenience. We will contact you to see if we can find the cause of the problem.

We don't consider this a bug but a feature, as you can mix both LTR and RTL characters in the preview toolbar.

It can be that you've placed outlines too far away from the visible glyph area. Do send us the font project file, and we'll look into this.

I was away this evening and just sent the OP a message.

Consider this done with the next upcoming release.

We no longer use that version which was released in 2013, so we don't know exactly why it fails on your side.

Over the years we've solved numerous issues related to OpenType layout features, and added several improvements and enhancements, so I'm sure an upgrade would solve the problem.

Please download and install this release:
http://www.high-logic.com/tmp/MainTypeS ... 0.1038.exe

And let us know your results.

This issue will be fixed with the next upcoming release.

We were able to reproduce the issue, and will look into this soon.

Thank you for letting us know. We will make some more corrections to the manual.

Other issues with "upgrade."
Over 300 of the fonts i have in my folder are not showing up. Indicates several hundred less in library than in font files, how to get it to recognize them, please?

Probably exact duplicates or corrupt font files.

The auto install feature has a maximum per sync folder.

This is to prevent a system from accidentally flooding it with fonts.

We are interested in your broken fonts to further improve MainType.

This is how it is defined in the OpenType font specification. It allows for at most 128 blocks, but currently Unicode has 280 blocks defined.

It is still important, so in general keep the "auto" feature enabled.
