adobe cloud fonts and maintype, bug?

I've just installed a few fonts via the Adobe Cloud app. I was wondering if maintype will let me view them and it does - but not well. I realise some of this might be beyond the developer's means to address... 1. I can view the fonts in the active fonts view, but they do not appear in a search. Is t...

Re: new computer, didn't backup

fixed it!
for archive's sake this is what I did:

read this page briefly:
https://www.high-logic.com/font-manager ... /fmsconfig

found old vault and data
ran fmsconfig, stopped the font service
restored backup (pointed to the old high-logic fontservice folder

Bob's your uncle :)

last version of maintype 9 download

Finding maintype 9 a bit buggier than version 7. I upgraded to #9 8 months, ago so no upgrade protection for me :( Just got round to updating it (my current version is 9.0.0.1207), and I'm only offered v10. Is there another version of 9 available after the one I've got installed. If so how do I get ...

Re: type1 postscript fonts

well I just updated to maintype 9 to see if that helped: and none of my postscript fonts are now even in my library.
Progress! :(

type1 postscript fonts

I can't seem to load or install postscript fonts. Both pfm and pfb files are in the font folder.

I remember reading something about type one fonts and windows 10. Should it work?

I'm on windows 1903, maintype 7 - 1032

moving font library to dropbox

I'd like to keep my fonts in sync across my laptop. Thought I'd just move the font library to a dropbox folder.
1). What's the best method?
2). Is there any downside to doing this?
3). Does maintype licenxe allow me to install it on my laptop too?

thanks! :)

Re: Maintype stopped working

It appears to come down to one dodgy font family. I spent an hour clearing it off my computer. and removing it from maintype. However I want to remove it from the database entirely so I have the chance of re-installing it. When I delete it it goes into ignored fonts, but then I cant re-install it. I...

Maintype stopped working

wont install, load or uninstall fonts. Also wont delete. I have tried reinstalling, does not work. Registry fixer has no issues.

On closing it says "it is reccommended you wait for the current font operation to complete"

New view please: recently activated/installed

Maybe this is because I'm getting old and senile but I'm forever activating fonts and then promptly forgetting which ones I've activated or installed. Please could we have a view for recently installed or activated fonts, or a history panel, or a column. (yes I know I could create a group, but often...

Re: fonts not available in premiere

Hi There, Yeah I'm not going to start moving fonts into adobes font folder - and that requires a restart anyway as far as I know. The whole point of a type manager is to avoid this sort of faff! :) A free trial of premiere is available. I'll try contacting adobe I'm sure they'll hop to and fix this ...

fonts not available in premiere

version 5.1: I used to be able to install the font as opposed to loading it in order to force premiere to see a font without restarting the software. In windows 10 this does not appear to work. I have to restart the software (which can take an age with a big project). I've just spent a day testing o...
