Better Font Groups...
Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 10:58 pm
Today, it looks like that when you put a font in a group, and you also have the font in another folder (such as by name, etc), it shows up twice in the list of fonts when you're browsing. If you have the group installed, it shows up as "similar font installed."
This is a bit annoying.... I don't know if it's possible, but it seems like you shouldn't see the font twice, or see it as "similar font installed" when you have it installed, and also in a group, etc. It seems like the only way out of this is to remove the font from the "normal" folders, and leave it only in the group folder, to prevent this from happening. The problem with this is it makes finding the font harder, I think, in the end....
Anyway, just seems to me there should be some better way to deal with this. For the moment, I'm just not using the groups, since they create duplicate fonts....
