![]() ![]() Go to the Character Panel, switch the first dropdown on top left to Missing Fonts (it's located at the end of the list), then click the arrow on the next control on the right - it should display all missing fonts families. I only get a small pop-up message when I open the document, but this not always complete if I use a lot of fonts, and I can not get it back when it disappears. It is hard to assess which fonts are missing from a designer document and know which ones I have to activate. It would be very useful too if you could add a font manager like Publisher has too, though. I saw that you added a resource manager to the latest beta, which makes a lot of sense to me. In any case, a quick search in the Symbols window of my Mac made me visually find a few fonts that have them in my system (Apple Chancery, Big Caslon, Futura Renner, Georgia, and so on): I suspect Old Style Numerals are more a matter of having a font that includes them. I am not sure if any Font managers make this easier but it would be something I would look for before buying something. I think that the better font managers make that simpler.ĭo searches for Old Style or Lining numerals, Proper super and subscript fraction numeral forms. Another Font Book shortcoming is if you need to search for specific glyphs, it is a case of visually scanning through the glyph display. This is very important if you have close to a thousand or several thousnd fonts on your system. A good font utility can enable and disable fonts easily. The most important limitation on Mac with Font Book is that all fonts are loaded all the time. For my needs (basic font management, import, activation, preview, etc) Typeface works brilliantly. Apparently there is a major Typeface update in the works, but there's currently no ETA. That said, if you use the font discovery options, pairing options, smart sets, font cache management (you can also do it via the command line), font repair, etc features you're best sticking with FontExplorer Pro X. Typeface doesn't miss a beat, and I find the performance much, much better than FontExplorer Pro X. I've greatly pruned my font collection from 10K+ fonts to roughly 3K now. ![]() Any advice from Rieger for a fellow FEX user? I've got 10k+ fonts from several decades in the biz. My older version of Font Explorer X is still chugging along happily enough (no issues with any Affinity apps), but Typeface does look nice. Haven't reviewed font management software in quite some time. I think I'll give Typeface a try, I did try out FontBase and found it very confusing but remember it doesn't take much to confuse me. I'm glad I found this post, I was looking for a font manager (MAC). I use it with all of the Affinity apps, along with Glyphs, Sketch, Pixelmator, Keynote, etc. It's designed to work with the fonts you have on your Mac, and I've had no problems activating fonts, resolving conflicts, or managing imports, etc. There is no store (or collection of stores), web font services (although it will import Adobe and Google fonts if you want), etc. Its free version does have all the standard features, the only thing I miss is font auto-activation, that's available only in a subscription-only I switched from FontExplorer Pro X (and their plug-ins for the primary Creative Cloud apps) to using Typeface which I'm finding to be fast, simple, light-weight, and a breath of fresh air from many other font managers (primarily Suitcase, and FontExplorer) I've used. It's multi-platform (Win, Mac, Linux), quite lightweight and fast. Hi there have quite good experience with the free version of FontBase. Before I do that, is there a font program that works well with Affinity products, or does it not matter? Thank you. I also use FontAgent Pro, which I will have to purchase an updated version. I am a years long user of Adobe Creative Suite, but I will no longer use them because of the monthly fee. ![]() Hi, I am just getting started with Photo, Designer & Publishing.
