#FONTBASE MYFONTS SOFTWARE#

It suggested using NTFSLinksView and since IвЂ™ve trusted Nir Sofer software before I tried it. Thinking that it was possibly that I just created the symlink incorrectly, I searched around and found a SuperUser question: The fixвЂ“for me, at leastвЂ“is to use symlinks. It was subtitled as вЂњUse SkyFonts with InkScape and other font managersвЂќ but talked about FontBase and seemed relevant to any font manager (it includes the list SkyFonts, NexusFont, The Font Thing, FontBase, etc.).

This was something I found a long time ago, and tried, and it didnвЂ™t work. The links below were mostly not helpful except for knowing that other people had the same problem, so IвЂ™m including them here just to show that nobody had clearly given a solution. Now when I add a font it is backed up to OneDrive as part of the process.

Because last time my hard drive died I lost ALL my fonts back until the last time I had made a copy of my fonts folder. Maybe IвЂ™m dull, or maybe you found this post because you have the same problem and that pic above will be your AHA!ДЄlso note in the image above: I keep my fonts in a OneDrive folder. I have no idea how long the solution has been this simple, but I know IвЂ™ve been looking for it for years. I would never have guessed this setting existed вЂ“ especially since other software uses fonts just fine without it. Maybe IвЂ™m dull, but a pic like this one above with the big red arrow would have been worth 1,000 words. I suspect that this same thing will work for other font manager software. Yes, it is that easy - the trick is knowing that such a thing exists and where it is located. HereвЂ™s the simple solution: Look in the Inkscape Preferences menu under Text and in the вЂњFont directoriesвЂќ section, add in the path of the directory that holds your FontBase fonts. Free is a compelling price.Д«ut I need my fonts to work, or it isnвЂ™t worth anything! With the newly released Inkscape 1.0, I felt it was time to try out Inkscape again - IвЂ™ve always liked how it was trying to provide all the functionality of CorelDraw (without the huge price tag). Switching to a font manager solved that and allowed me to access my fonts as needed in software like Affinity Designer, but I couldnвЂ™t get them to work in Inkscape. I use way too many fonts to just вЂњinstall them all into WindowsвЂќ without having problems.

FontBase looks like a more popular feature-full option, and RightFont is more aimed at teams syncing font libraries.I finally solved how to get FontBase fonts to work with Inkscape - and potentially fonts that are managed with a different font manager. One newer option that at least looks like a good alternative for their simpler Fonts app is the Typeface app, as a minimal way to organize fonts and look through what they offer.

A nicer option that I've just recently downloaded is the Fontstand iOS app which both can manage and install your personal fonts and let you rent or buy fonts from their collection of foundries.

On iOS, for years I've used the basic AnyFont app to install fonts, as there's no built-in way to directly install fonts. On Mac since then, I've just used Font Book to manage my limited personal font collection, with a backup folder of my purchased fonts in Dropbox, along with the Creative Cloud app to manage Adobe Fonts synced from my CC subscription. Had what felt like a new and fresh design for its time, even if its core features weren't much different from the built-in Font Book.

Ohh you reminded me I used to love their Fonts app, which I think was a simpler version of their full Fontcase.
