JimErn Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I have always had an issue choosing fonts, no matter what I do to the font directory I can not seem to sort them by my likes. And there are so many I will never use, even hiding them does not remove them from some programs. I stumbled on this free (I like free) utility. It allows you to create font collections, click the collection and only those fonts you put there are up for viewing. At least that way I can see the name and find it easily in other software. When you open it ... Second choice down on the left is "Collection" right click on it and create new ones The top left choice is "Installed" click that and all installed fonts show as a listing on the right, click one of those fonts and use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll down. Find the one you want and drag it to the collection title you set up. It helps me, hopefully it might help someone else.

don in brooklin on Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thank you I installed and with a quick search and copy I moved all my scroll fonts to a collection and then stencil in another collection. This should save me some time. Thanks again OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc58 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 If you don't have gazillions of scroll fonts, you can simply create a word document with the alphabet of each of the most common fonts that you use (I only have about five) and save the doc with a useful name like 'dontlosethesefonts' or something. This also allows for quick and easy copy and paste to a new document with your latest "Love" "Believe" "Leave Me Alone" or whatever.

Jim Finn Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I only use three fonts and I just put an example of each onto one "word" document that I save. When I need a font I just go to that page, select the example of the font I want and hit enter and on the next line I start typing my new, needed, words. It automatically adjusts to the font of the example I selected. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
