Sheesh, I just upgraded to 18 and FontExpert STILL doesn't save tags into the Library. I spent a lot of time creating and assigning tags to individual fonts to act as design "Groups" (Old West, Hippy, Atomic, , since I find that how FontExpert uses and creates groups doesn't make any sense to me.
The tags still work on my fonts that are in separate folders such as "Production Fonts - Open Type". But if I want to instead use the Library to make things simpler to use or move the program and my fonts over to another computer, no go. I don't know why there is a Library anyway. Or why Groups can't be defined by simply using an .ini file that simply POINTS to the original file, not new folders.
And why when I search for fonts using Tags (categories) in a folder that DOES have fonts connected to Categories, the program only searches in the Library (which doesn't save tags), not the folder I have open? WTF?
Aargh.
