Hmmmm. I think I missunderstood the whole structure from the beginning then...? In my thoughts the fonts had to be intact in the source folder/folders? Because they are linked from here. But you tell that I can Erase the source folders after installing the fonts to "FontExpert" ... that ma...

One more...
If I'm in the "Folders" view...? Can I from here admin the fonts in the "source folders"? Add fonts and erase? And they will be physically erased or added? And this actions will be updated in the database and library?

Ok... what I understand then is that if I add fonts to "MyFonts1" folder they will automatically update in FontExpert. If I delete fonts from "MyFonts1" folder... does these also be deleted from FontExperts database indexing??

Ok Gracias, I will check out how my strategy will be. If you do this smart it will be a great help when looking for special designs. The classic fonts you just search by the names.

Ok... maybee I was unclear... I wonder if I erase or attach fonts to the folders that I added to Library (physical place for the fonts), get updated in FontExpert??

Hi. Wonder which is the right/best way to update your font library after erasing or inserting new fonts? Does FontExpert do this automatically when starting up or must I "Add fonts to library" by just choos the folder that has the changed items?

Gracias

My next step now with ”FE” is to set search ”Tags” to the fonts. Was thinking of doing this instead of making a lot of Groups with different credentials that are useful when looking for a specific font. Do you have a tutorial or some smart advices for this? I have made some extra ”Assigned Keywords”...

Thanks for clearifying that. Not a big deal, but in my WebDesign software it would make the font menu more handible. But if "FE" gets more safe with the webfonts activation (ttf) I can have all handling from there.

Ok, but for example when you use Illustrator or Photoshop you can take the font Minion Pro or Myriad Pro that are installed with Adobe I think. In this font families you get 10 subnames under each family name??
And they get all fonts that belong to each family in the right submenu...

Hi, as it is today you are depended on how a font family is generated for how it appears in you fontlists in different softwares. Sometimes you see the fontfamily name in the main list and can choose the style in the "styles" list... but mostly you have fonts listed in each weight and some...

Thanks for the explanation. Will be interesting to see next upgrade with the solution for this function

Hi, Which is the best way of sharing your "FontExpert" settings between 2 pc:s? I have one at home and one at my office in which I work with the same projects. As it is...I've copied the same font folder which is my external library in the same place in both OS. I want to have the same org...

Ok... Thankyou for a very informative answer. I was thinking from another perspective. But if I use the Library levels like you suggested I will probably reach my quest

Gracias

I don't know if it's possible... I've been looking through the functions in "FE" fore some days know. But one thing that would be handy is the oportunity to make more "Main Librarys" so you can make a more suitable hiarchy from start. Make it more streamlined so you can sort up i...

Hi again. Thanks for answer and suggestion. I think I solved the problem by make a more clean link structure in the "Groups" When having the problem I did some linking between the "Groups" because some different groups had almost the same fonts. Was easier... I saw this in a Yout...
