Will do. I did the backup - which files do you need to troubleshoot.

Yes, it's the most current version.

Yes, I was expecting the popup in the bottom right corner of the sceen that shows the progress of the library update. However, when I click refresh folders, nothing happens... I did reboot...

Anywhere in particular I should look to sleuth this out?

I completely uninstalled MainType and have reinstalled it. I have a font folder on a local, internal drive, with approximately 35,000 fonts. I've added that folder to the library and selected recursive indexing. It appears nothing is happening, but I can't tell. Below is a screncap of the folder scr...

I don't know what code would be necessary for this to be done, but perhaps there could be an option presented after folder sync highlighting older versions. I fear I have made a mess of my library as I have been "deleting" older versions of fonts and, based on what I'm reading here, believ...

Just revisiting this issue after reinstalling MainType... Is there a way to export the group information without either exporting fonts and/or backing up and restore the entire library. I have several font groups that are project based for different clients. So all I really need is (essentially) a l...

Not sure if this has been asked, but if so, please forgive me. I just recently added a set of fonts from Google (Source Sans Pro). When installed, I noticed in the Font Information pane that there were two files listed - one in my \fonts\google\source folder and one in the c:\windows\fonts. I uninst...

I'm using Maintype 7.0.0 build 1012. The plugins are all grayed out. Application help indicates they are available only in the Professional Edition, which is what I'm running. Can they be downloaded somewhere?

Slightly different, but related question/issue. If I have multiple computers running MT, it would be helpful to be able to share groups I created. For example, my home and work computers both have MT installed on them. While at work, I create a font group to handle a project. If I could save that gr...

I totally get that many fonts are incorrectly coded with regard to this. However, I suspect that most (not many) are not incorrectly tagged. So perhaps if were a tickable feature, the user could use or ignore the data. But even if 75% of the data were correct, in a library of 16,000+ fonts, being ab...

I own two computers and two licenses for MainType 6. I'd like to synchronize groups and tags between computers. How is this accomplished?

I think the issue here is one of workflow. When you open a doc in an Adobe app, missing fonts are noted and you are requested to "find" them. If you leave the app and install the missing font through MainType, the font is available to the system, but you have to reopen the Adobe doc. Other...

I'm wondering what the plan is for plugins for the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of products (i.e., Photoshop CC, Indesign CC, Illustrator CC, etc.). These have become the standard from Adobe and it would be very helpful for MainType to support them.

I used to use Bitstream's Font Navigator which came bundled with the Corel Suite of products. It had the ability to "look" in to a font to determine it's style (i.e., serif, sans, etc.). Since I have a library of over 15,000 fonts, it would be helpful to have the ability to automate the ta...

I have gone through and deleted duplicate font files from my system. I then refresh folders, but multiple listings for a given font are still shown. Am I missing something, or should refreshing the font folders take care of this?
