Font dialog – Searching for fonts (Designer, Publisher, Photo)


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I found a bug that persists since many versions of Designer, Publisher and Photo regarding fonts and font replacements. I did a small research, but didn't found anything regarding this. It's not a big deal, but still annoying...

 

When replacing/choosing fonts you're normally able to search for them (filter fonts by keywords). In my example in the attachments, it's Open Sans.

So when typing in a font family in any dialog, it doesn't search for this font in my font library. Searching for fonts simply doesn't work. So I guess it should work like a search field like it does for example in InDesign (2. attachments)

As I said, it's not a big deal, but annoying in daily workflow (especially because the font dialog is so small and if you have a big font collection you need to scroll all the way down to find the font family you need)

 

So, please have a look at it. :)

Thank you and keep up the great work!
-Alex

What happens if you type a bit more of the name?

Tested it again. In Character Panel it actually works. But in the Font Manager it doesn't... So the issue is only with the font manager when replacing fonts for example. Sorry

I wanted to post this bug a few weeks ago but forgot about it… So thanks!
