Some ideas for improving MainType v2.0
Posted: Mon Dec 25, 2006 9:20 pm
Idea #1: Add a cloumn for "Font Version". Sometimes I have the same exact font, only in two different versions. It would help to know which version is the latest, so I could delete the older one.
Idea #2: Add a tool in the Tools menu for checking font files for validity. I sometimes encounter .ttf files that are corrupted, but there's no way to tell until I try looking at its contents or try to install it.
Idea #3: Someone already pointed this out, but I too think that there should be a tool in the Tools menu for renaming font files according to the font name (and making their extension lower-case). Right now I'm using another utilty for this called Free Font Renamer v1.1 (which works great and is fast and it's Free!!), but MainType should defenitely have this built-in.
Idea #4: The Sample window should have options for coloring the background and the text (the user should be able to select a color for each), because sometimes a designer would be looking for a font and it would help him/her if the text and/or background are in the colors of his/her design.
Hope to see those features soon in the next verion.
Besides those few needed improvements, the application is wonderful!!!
So thanks a lot, MainType Team...and keep up the good work.
