juanma_dv Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Like your products very much but I think a font manager would be a great addition to your suite. Please, make it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘 Quote
PaoloT Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 What's bad with the free, existing ones? Paolo PaulEC and juanma_dv 2 Quote
juanma_dv Posted February 2, 2023 Author Posted February 2, 2023 Most of them are available by subscription but in general terms, I think a font manager designed by Affinity and built in the suite would made font activation/deactivation faster and much easier. Quote

Font Book.app It does almost all of what I want from font managers. Having said that I don't have that many third party fonts installed, dozens instead of the thousands from back in the day. juanma_dv 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
EddCh Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 As a Mac user I think there are some good options already available at reasonably low prices (or even free) that have a standalone one-off purchase price (or alongside subscription plans). Typeface RightFont FontAgent Whilst there are other options available, the feature-rich are subscription-based ones whilst the free alternatives are somewhat limited or 'feature-light'. The three that I have listed are a decent price-to-features compromise in the perpetual license category. Personally I have been using Typeface for a number of years now (having migrated from Suitcase Fusion and Linotype FontExplorer) and think it's pretty good (for my needs). juanma_dv 1 Quote
David Cake Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 I'd really rather have good support for system wide font managers, than an Affinity suite only one. Quote
