We’ve known that many of you own AlphaTricks specifically to help organize your fonts. Usually that’s been done through renaming. We know it’s an unwieldy way to manage anything. Now, you can tag your fonts - this means they can be discovered by any category, using the category names you choose. One of the biggest challenges of this was to make the font catalog into a file that you can take from system to system as you copy your fonts, but we’ve achieved it. Even going across the Mac/Win divide, you can keep your Font Catalog organization.
Size also plays a big factor (oh, pun!) in selecting fonts, so there’s a Size filter, too. The sizes do overlap a bit, but with just a bit of looking, you can narrow in on what you want. By adding this size filter, your scrolling will be reduced. You don’t even need to create size categories of your own. You will anyway, just because you’re all teenagers at heart, but you don’t need to.
How about finding things by font creator? Yes, they’re in their own list, shown based on the names the designers use to install their fonts. They’re also sorted by native and imported, as the advanced features available with native fonts are becoming increasingly popular.
