nemrod Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi, my name's Fred. I'm a Creative Director in french webagency. I'm a new user and I like affinity. I hope it will be as strong as Fireworks for webdesign. The question is : Can we optimize the openning time of the font selector ? I use it a lot, I like the direct preview on the canvas, but of course i don't like waiting each time I want to apply another font. I'm open to new workflow too like keyboard shortcuts, panel ... Here is a link to a video so you can see the trouble : http://cl.ly/3t142t3d0P1W/affinity-font-selector.mov Ha! ... and I start with some shapes and gradients just to show you that's it's not because of my computer ;) Thanks in advance ----- 2 x 2,26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB OS X 10.9.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted October 30, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 30, 2014 How many fonts do you have installed? If you run OSX Font Book it tells you on the bottom bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonMike Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 And if you use a font manager (like Suitcase Fusion), go there and get the font count from it, as FontBook "ignores" any font added via Suitcase. For example, my FontBook app says I have 283 fonts installed. I know I have... a few... more than that installed via Suitcase.
