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

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.

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.

Thank you for advice. Yes, I know such software. I even was using NexusFont, but it is only "workaround", unfortunately having some faults. "Direct" usage of chosen font set is always the best solution.
In this situation, I have to think about, whether to buy Designer. -
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.

Hi,
Version 1.9 crashes/close without any warning when I try to export file as PDF. It makes that this version is useless... 😞
Similarly, it crashes when I try to open the previous saved "package" file (new feature).
