This looks really useful, as an Ubuntu user. Haven't had a good font app for years

[@landlocked4771]

Good job and thanks for the video, nice tool.

[@hansreynders6853]

Maybe I missed it but I didn't hear you mentioning that you within font manager easily activate/deactivate installed fonts so when using them in your applications you don't have to scroll through endless lists of fonts.

[@TJFREE]

Good point Hans. I forgot to talk about this but it is a great feature!

[@noahriding5780]

After you install a font in the font manager, do you have to take a next step or something before the fonts show up in your word processing program, libreoffice, or equivalent? Thanks.
Follow up; I clicked on the 'add font' (+) button in the font manager. It then installed the font I wanted. But after that the new font isn't showing up in the word processor program. So there must be some other follow up step after that, that I'm missing?

[@quaesitrix881]

Right click on the font then "Install", and it will be available. It's really inconvenient : I haven't figured out how to install several at once, nor how to make the difference between fonts that have been imported but not installed without right-clicking to see if the "Install" option is there... except that sometimes the "Install" option is there even though the font has already been installed. If there is a more convenient way I haven't found it 😢

Great program and thx for the video!
What I do miss though: It'd be nice and helpful, if I could just put in my own sample text.

[@TJFREE]

Oh yes, you can enter your own sample text. The interface is a little strange but in the manage area you double-click on the text to change it and in the other two areas there is a textbox for entering sample text.

Thank you this is video rich as lasts

[@noahriding5780]

If you use, install font manager, then should you uninstall fontmatrix (also Linux based)? Do they conflict with each other? I was having fontmatrix have problems. So I'm anxious to try out this one instead.
