is it possible to print a list of a certain tag?

Post by L07936 »

I want to be able to look for a font based on the tag I've assigned to it but I can't figure out how to create a list of just that tag (IE hadnwriting)
Is there a way?

Select the Tag in the Tag Search Panel.

No, that's not what I mean. For instance, I want to be able to print out a list of all of the fonts tagged handwriting

You can already do that. Select the list of tagged fonts and print out the list.

In the usual way that you select a list of filenames in Windows:

* Click the first, Shift+Click the last
* Ctrl+A to Select All
* Ctrl+Click to select/deselect individual files in a list.

This is what I get with a compact font listing.

Are your printing to an actual printer or to a file through a virtual printer driver?

Either way the external software that your system uses to print the font listing is malfunctioning. Maybe updating the driver helps.
