• Uninstalling fonts through a double click
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 6:55 am
I just became aware of a feature apparently introduced in MainType 2.1.1: "With this release the quickest and most convenient way to install or uninstall a single font is to double-click it. Based on the status of the font, MainType will install it or uninstall it."
Well, not so convenient if you in a stressful moment do it unintentionally on an installed font and just notice that it mysteriously disappears from the list of installed fonts. And no warning was given although I have the "Warn when uninstalling fonts" check box ticked. Go figure. So unfortunately I just managed to uninstall not one but two fonts in rapid succession. With over 1200 fonts installed on my computer (and a total count of more than 6000) I'm not even sure what fonts they were...
Would it be possible to have this sometimes not so convenient feature being turned off in the Options dialog? Mind you, I don't have the latest version of MainType (still using 2.1.1) so it might already be there. If not, please consider to add it in upcoming versions.
