Reply To: Font grouping

I have been looking for a way to group my fonts again since Apple changed their security system which caused YouControl Fonts to stop working. Also in OS9 there was Now Utilities, which also allowed you to color your fonts in the menu. A work around has been to create a Character Style list and use your Character Styles as a font menu. Far from elegant and quite a mess when you open old files and import your list. Pains… no good.

A look at CC menus and it’s also far from what’s needed. It’s so strange how things go so backwards at times. Old technology is better than new. Buying new versions of CS (CC) is out of the question. There must be some clever software company is out there that can fix this and make this plug in a reasonable price.

Or perhaps a software that can rename fonts so the InDesign menu places them in some sort of group. Serif, San Serif, Script, Header etc. Even placing an SS, S, SC, H in front of each font you want grouped. I have Fontographer and can do this, but what a pain, plus who knows what other pains it may cause.
