Editing the list of fonts

[Str2 11]

Would it be possible to customize the list of fonts? There are many which i would never use, and rather see the ones i use frequently without having to navigate the whole list to find the fonts. I use AD mainly for logo design and use fonts very frequently. Beeing able to customize the list would be a huge time saver!

Yes, I do support this request: Customizing the font list is a most!!!
There're so many useless system fonts in the font list nobody needs, selecting a font is a very tedious and time consuming job... so a Customizable Font List is an urgent need.

Please put it in your first priority request list.

Hi Str2, aaanouel,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

The latest Betas (usually pinned at the top of the respective sections) keep the latest ten fonts used on the top of the list for easy access.

 

OS X already includes a font management app (Font Book) that lets you enable/disable fonts at your will. There's also third-party apps which offer even more advanced functionality (Extensis Suitcase Fusion, FontExplorer X Pro etc). If you deal with several fonts on a daily basis maybe it's worth to check out those options.

Hey MEB,

 

I haven't looked at other font apps besides Font Book, the problem is that disabling fonts might disable them in other apps like iBooks too, but it's a way to declutter the system indeed. I may look into those other apps if they let me manage the fonts on a per application basis. Thx for suggesting it!

 

Seeing the last ten used fonts in the list is a cool feature, can't wait :)
