Since I can’t make groups in FontBook, I found a kluge way to do it. (Haven’t tried hard, though.) Can that even be done? Can you use FontBook to pick and choose which fonts are open? (A simple yes or no would be great - if yes, I’ll go look it up for a “how-to”.) But I’ve not been able to figure out how to make groups in FontBook, so I can have more control. Would be nice to be able to hide the fonts I NEVER use (some are System fonts and CAN’T be got rid of). So I just keep a few loaded for basic choices. Eh? He said all this as he lifted his listening horn up to his aging ears.)īut in recent years, I don’t want to clog up my Mac with too many fonts to choke on. My has the world improved while I’ve been out hiding in the hinterlands. (And what’s that you say? The print world has gone to a PDF workflow now? Well, ain’t that something. That’s when Suitcase was an absolute necessity.
Once upon a time - 15 years ago - in making magazines, I kept a ton of fonts around and still have a CD (somewhere in a box) of the entire Adobe font library (1600 bucks in its day). Great for viewing fonts though.īut my needs are simple nowadays. I’m using FontBook, which is, as you say, clunky. Pinegrow does not include anyway to manage these, so maybe just using Google ensures that your site is consistent to all… QUESTION: Besides Google Fonts, does anybody use any web basic fonts? (Arial, Georgia etc?) Why? The free version is usable, but the lifetime license is more than FontBase. It is also no subscription.įontBase is not bad, but does not support PostScript fonts, and in chatting with the developer, won’t any time soon. I have worked with FontExplorer X Pro and it is equally good. (Like Adobe they are going all subscription for my benefit.) It is by far the most robust for general print work. Hence - Moving to Pinegrow.įor Fonts: I am using Suitcase Fusion, and won’t go past version 9. I’m not updating to Catalina (at least not soon) for several reasons, but mostly because I want to still use my CS6 suite if needed. Looking to ditch Adobe in all things - but its not always easy. I’m a one man Communications department during the day and freelance at night.
