abarkalo Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 I realize that you can't deactivate Mac system fonts but I really don't need those fonts in my design documents. I need only my designer fonts of which I have many. Since no one can't activate thousands and thousands of fonts all at once, on any powerful system, I activate and deactivate only what I need per project. So it would be very nice to have a clean list of fonts - only see my designer fonts that are currently active. In other words, just hide not deactivate. Can there be a switch to turn the visibility of fonts on or off? That would be so great to not have to mentally block out STIX and all those other fonts that I never use and don't need and really make it difficult for me to scroll through the list. ronnyb and Rich313 1 1 Quote
CarlM Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Or maybe a Font Favourites list option that can be saved like colour palettes? Quote

I set up a few sets of fonts in the Mac's Font Book and I can select those fonts in the various Affinity applications. Have to go to the Character Studios though so that is a bit of a poor design. fde101 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

robzin Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 In doing some more research, I found that Font Book custom font lists do show up in the Character panel, but not in the font drop-down menu. So that is something, but not ideal. I'd still love to be able to hide (or consolidate) the system fonts so they don't take up dozens to hundreds of spots in my drop-down font list. Thanks. Quote
