11/15/2023 0 Comments Fontbase vs nexus font![]() ![]() *G* So now I need to find a way to clean up the hoarding mess I have now. I guess the most straightforward thing would be to just stop hoarding fonts. But I am not sure if it would be easier to use a different font manager over ACDSee that I am currently using. Font sharing through Cloud-based Extensis-hosted server. I am guessing from the way Angie describes NexusFont, you can tag the same font with several categories - the same as 1001 Fonts does. Professional Font Management with Font Sharing For teams and companies that need font management and to easily share fonts across the team. I think the 1001 way makes more sense to me and seems to be more similar to my categories. I looked at the way Dafont does as well as 1001 Free Fonts. With 29+ Folders it does take a while.Ĭan you all tell me what types of categories you would use to organize fonts? Can you designate watched folders in that like you can with Font Base? I have FontBase "watching" the folders that I have organized in ACDSee but I still have to find the folder with the appropriate fonts to activate them. ![]() I have installed and uninstalled both NexusFont and FontBase a gazillion times over the years. I have 29 folders and even more subfolders. I have the uninstalled fonts separated into folders such as Billboard/Bold, Brush Script, Doodles, CK/Cute, Handwriting, Movies and Media, Typewriter. I can load them by Rebuilding Metadata and then open Photoshop. Right now, I use ACDSee Photo Manager to view fonts. My next step is to better organize the installed ones so I can find and load the ones that I need quickly. Just a "few." I forced myself to keep them to 100. I reinstalled a few of my favorites and ones that I used most often. :( No joy.Last week I did it! I deleted all of my fonts. I've almost always put the taskbar to the left, vertically on my screen. I'm afraid getting to the Windows icon is problematic for me. I needed to do that for a different reason: I had a bum font, and Xara kept crashing when my cursor came close to the font name on the drop-down list: go figure. The easiest/quickest way to get to the desktop in windows 10, is to right click the windows icon at the lower left, and choose desktop from the bottom of the list.Excellent advice on the disabling the Font cache. Apparently you will have to disable it with every major windows update. To speed Nexusfont up substantially, you have to disable the Windows Font Cache Service. ![]() Similarly, if you want to manage multiple fonts or preview fonts before installing simultaneously, then this is the perfect tool for you. If you need to compare different fonts, then this tool is for you. In Windows 10 something happened to the font caching in the Anniversary update. FontBase is a user-friendly font management system that is particularly designed for professional users. So Nexus font is for combing through my NON-INSTALLED font collection. My installed fonts are easily managed within Xara, as typically all I need to know is what a desired font looks like. I typically only use a Font Manager to find a particular font so that I can install it. Most font managers I've used in the past do not work in tandem with an application. ![]() FontBase uninstalled.Įxcept for being able to duck out of Xara and install fonts, OoG, NexusFont doesn't interact with Xara at all. Not sure what FontBase's features are anymore, but the deal-breaker was that it appears full-screen at my pathetic 1280 × 1024 screen resolution. OOg, what I like most about it, is once you're loaded (or the program is loaded), you have a number of options right where one might expect them: install/uninstall, properties/charmap when you right-click over a font sample, color font size, preview sentence easy to get to. Almond! That is an exaggerated number, I hope! If this is any gauge, 45 typefaces took about 18 seconds to load, about 3 per second, which must be painfully slow for all your 11,000 fonts, Mr. You can use it on all the platforms, i.e. I've got it to launch and load 45 typefaces right now that I'm evaluating by comparison for a gig. Cost: free FontBase is a free font organizer with a visually attractive and easy-to-use interface. I don't have that problem, though, because by default, I don't ask for Installed fonts to be displayed. Don't like it at all - Not can't use it, it's quite useable, just don't like it.True: NexusFont takes longer than one would wish for installed fonts to be enumerated. I've tried FONTBASE twice now, and uninstalled it twice. The ONLY downside is having to wait while it loads 11,000 fonts. ![]()
