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?
