    What faults have you encountered?

    By "faults" I mean mainly inconvenience. There are two options. Font manager starts every time with system and runs even I do not need them (i.e. most of time in my case)  and wasting system resources. Otherwise I have to remember to start it manually before I want use graphic app. I forgot about it many times :(

    That is because (like quite a few other apps) on startup it opens & reads from the installed font files so it can show samples in font menus.

    Supporting uninstalled fonts, particularly those on a non-system volume, would be problematic for several reasons, not the least of which is the delays caused by the need to open all those fonts 'on-the-fly' to provide samples & previews.

    Other applications (e.g. GIMP,  Scribus) work the same but instead open & read from installed font files (system cache) they read fonts from folder pointed in preferences. But you are right - it causes notable delay every time when app starts. But it is not a problem for me.

  2. Thank you for your interest. Maybe you are right, but I am not going to install in system over 1200 fonts because I use them rarely and only in 1-3 graphic programs (home DTP or vector/pixel illustrations only for own use). I do not need them in Word, Excel and generally in whole system (it would probably affect system performance). So feature of usage by application of non-installed fonts is quite valuable for me.

  3. I have a big collection of fonts. They are not installed in system (Windows) but gathered in separate folder on non-system volume. Despite this several programs I use allow me to use these fonts directly (e.g. by pointing the folder in preferences). Does Designer have such feature or possibility? It is important for me. For now I use trial version and I do not see possibility - I can use only limited number of installed fonts.
