From my understanding (which is way over my head) means it's having to go through a lot more rendering to make it work efficiently. 1, it's not a native Mac app, it's based on the GitHub Electron GUI. I have narrowed it down to Rightfont, Typeface 3, Font Explorer or Fontbase.įontbase from what I have read has two issues.
#Fontbase setup 2.2.1.exe software#
This seems to be the only reason they updated the software from what I can see. Suitcase 9 still works but now manually, no auto-activation is possible as the new subscription updates 'conveniently' breaks the typecore and plugin compatibility. Suitcase has been my go-to app from the very beginning up to version 9. Having upgraded my machine, by default the new system software broke the older apps. Maybe there are some decent free alternatives out there?ĭo you still use font management software, if so, which one do you prefer? I know suitcase used to be a thing people used for mac, but I am on windows. But it's old and is getting more and more buggy with newer versions of windows. I randomly bought this 'Font Expert' software many years ago, that I still use.
I also keep collection of for example serifs, sans serfis and what have you that I can enable or disable and make available to the OS in seconds.
I remember having a lot of fonts enabled, could be something that bogged down the OS, not so sure that is the case in 2021, but still you don't always want thousands of fonts enabled in the OS. So when I don't use them I disable them so they don't clutter everything up. I find having a font management tool handy, not just for reviewing different fonts, but for example I can disable/enable all google fonts on my system with the click of a button.
