Tag search doesn't show all matches until service restarted [Solved]
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2018 2:11 am
MainType 8.0.0.1135
I don't think I can reproduce this, but what I was doing was deleting some fonts that only existed in the MainType database and not on disk. I had given them the tag "Ghost" to make finding them easier. I also deleted a few that did have files on disk. None of these had the tag "Ghost" set, so I don't think it's part of the issue, but I want to be complete.
After I had finished deleting all fonts, I still saw that 6 fonts were listed as having the tag "Ghost", but none showed up in the search: Stopping and restarting the font service cleared it up, so no real harm done.
