automatic fontgroup generation from file folder [impl 7.0]
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2005 1:19 pm
sorry for flooding ;o) but now that i'm really into fontexpert, more ideas keep coming to mind: most colleagues i know keep their fonts more or less neatly organized in directories for every font (or font family). these then contain all available weights and styles (bolds, blacks, italics, etc).
since we've invested so much time in carefully labelling these dirs so that we don't mix up fonts (for instance linotype, adobe or itc editions of a classic font), it would be splendid if we had the option of automatically installing new font groups by drag-and-dropping these complete file dirs from the file list to the group list (see my earlier request) and automatically naming/labeling them after the drag-and-dropped directory!
in short: (1) choose aptly named font (sub-)dir (2) d'n'd it into the group list where (3) a new group with the same name as the file dir is automatically generated and (4) optionally ("do you want to...?") automatically installed/activated!! how cool would that be!
cheers, GL
