With Windows I think you would need to copy those fonts from the C:\Windows\fonts\ folder to a non-system folder before you could copy and rename them. '00 Arial', '00 Arial Rounded MT Bold') would supposedly force those copied fonts to the top of the font list. Prefixing copies of your favourites with a couple of zeros (i.e.

Copying and renaming fonts would allow you to group fonts as per the request at the top of this thread.

TypeKit is an excellent feature, and as good as any font manager I've previously used.

Adobe's TypeKit is now available to everyone with a CC subscription (it used to be only for full subscription holders).

What makes your post interesting, is that it suggests a lateral solution to the issue in the old thread you've awakened. Please tell me there is a better way than creating a note and writing down names of favorite fonts for future use.ĭon, whatever the answer, it is going to depend on what operating system you are using. How do I keep track of my favorite fonts in Photoshop? I tried removing fonts that I don't use from Library Fonts folder, but it made the text in other applications look funny, so I had to move them back.

I tried renaming the fonts, but that didn't help, as they still come out under their old names in Photoshop. So how does one keep track of favorite fonts?

Thanks for suggestions guys, but 3rd party applications like FontAgent Pro or Suitcase Fusion would not solve this. The perfect interface I imagine would be user created sub-folders in the system Fonts folder where a font or its alias can be put and this would be the way the fonts should appear in the Fonts panels and menus of the programs with collapsible sub-menus.

Ideally, this problem should be solved on a system level. Font managers don't have access to and can't sort the font menu in anyway. Basically a font manager allows you to organize your fonts externally where you can choose which fonts you want or don't want to use, then the font manager automates the installing and uninstalling of these fonts in the system fonts folder and thus limits the number of fonts that appear in the font menus. However this doesn't affect the system fonts and many program fonts which are a number large enough to clutter and interfere with any external arrangement. You have to organize your fonts externally and load or unload with another program all the time in order to have manageable font menu. However because they are external means to a problem that needs to be solved internally on a system and program level, they are very inefficient. So, the major advantage of font managers is lost and I have to use them for organization purposes only. Nowadays the computers are so much faster that I can have thousands of fonts installed without any problem. In the early desktop computers even a few dozen fonts would slow down considerably the system performance. Initially, decades ago, the primary goal of the font managers was system performance.

In my opinion the font usage interfaces available nowadays are the most primitive and undeveloped than any other software solutions. Can't offer you much help but can only mention how bad the font technology is in this respect.
