juanma_dv Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Like your products very much but I think a font manager would be a great addition to your suite. Please, make it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoloT Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 What's bad with the free, existing ones? Paolo PaulEC and juanma_dv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanma_dv Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 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.

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 Affinity Designer 2.2.0 | Affinity Photo 2.2.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.2.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddCh Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cake Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'd really rather have good support for system wide font managers, than an Affinity suite only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
