MainType Update Wiped Out my Font Groups

MainType - Font Manager MainType - Support

Not as terrible as it sounds, but it might alarm some users.

From the Tools menu, Options, General, Groups, I had to browse to where my fonts are organised and change the default folder from:

*C:\Documents and Settings\Bhikkhu Pesala\My Documents\My Font Groups*

back to:

C:\Documents and Settings\Bhikkhu Pesala\My Documents\My Fonts

Could the update do this or was it perhaps Ashampoo Win Optimiser that I used earlier today to clear redundant Windows Registry entries?

I don’t think the update did this. You could try to run the Ashampoo Win Optimiser again and see if the change happens again.

I ran Ashampoo again, and that didn’t cause the problem again.

I then reinstalled from MainTypeSetup.exe (build 91) and checked for updates again. That didn’t do it either, so I’m not sure what happened.

Anyway, if it happens to anyone else, hopefully they will find this thread, and learn how to fix it easily.
