Re: export groups - JUST the group, not the fonts

That's what we do now, which is my point. The font files are stored in a central server. When working on particular project that requires particular fonts, it would be helpful to be able to share a group (list) of fonts used on the project so that users could simply install that group, and then unin...

Re: export groups - JUST the group, not the fonts

I have purchased the upgrade to MT12. Still hoping for some reasonable font group export. This is incredibly important for workgroups who share projects and need to quickly (and easily) see and install and/or add to a group of fonts.

Re: export groups - JUST the group, not the fonts

That's kind of what I do now. But that will requires duplication of font files. For example, I have my fonts organized by name in alphabetical folders (A,B,C, etc.). But if I'm using Arial, Garamond, Onyx and Woodcut Ornaments, I either have to sync the A, G, O and W folders, or create a new folder ...

export group font list, not actual font files

I asked about this a couple of years ago. With the various updates that have been made to MainType, is it possible to export a font group where you export just the list of fonts to import into another installation. I don't want to export actual font files, thus creating duplicates. I just want to be...

Library/Folder refresh not working

I am experiencing an issue with library updates not working. In the refresh window, the path shows with a 60 minute Sync. The last refresh was over an hour ago. However, a new font I added to the folder is now showing in my library. I have just under 21,000 fonts, but I have run the program in the p...

Re: Annoying advertising: Please make it go away.

This is one of the things about Maintype I completely hate.

export groups - JUST the group, not the fonts

It would be incredibly helpful if there was a way to export a font group. Not the actual font files themselves, but a simple list of pointers to fonts in a library. This would be useful for workgroups who need to all use exactly the same fonts on projects, as well as creating/sharing a font group wi...

Export/sync groups

Is it possible to export or sync a created group between computers? For example, I use multiple computers, so creating a group for a project on one computer, and then exporting or syncing that group to another computer avoids manually keeping a list of fonts. This would also apply to workgroup envir...

Re: Hangs on Processing

I have the same issue... I had a computer crash and the manufacturer wiped my system. When rebuilding it, i copied all of my fonts to the same folder (same directory structure) I had before. I reinstalled Maintype. I've refreshed my font folders and am stuck here "Processed 29065 out of 38787 r...

Re: Font Information pane inconsistent

Well that certainly makes things interesting. I have no idea where the font files were - I have a huge collection of fonts. Part of what I was trying to do was to physically clean up the directory structure as well... So I guess the question is how do I get rid of font entries in my database for tho...

Font Information pane inconsistent

I am trying to clean up my library and HD space used for fonts. The Font Information pane in MainType is inconsistent in what is shows. While not all fonts would necessarily have tags/metadata embedded in them, I would expect the file location to be displayed for every font. Am I missing something o...

ability to share font groups

I'm sure this has been discussed, and I've been part of the discussion.... It continues to rear it's head at me... A team of creatives often create their own font collections via groups. They also share font groups when collaborating on a project. The ability to share these groups would be tremendou...

Indesign CC 2018/19

Does anyone know of a way to install the plugin created for previous versions of InDesign so that they will work with the newest versions? Adobe is cranking these updates/upgrades out like water, but vendors aren't able to keep up.

Re: Synchronize MainType between PCs

This is likely what I'll end up doing. Unfortunately, this is time intensive as I have over a gig of font files, so obviously, restoring is a length process...
