Font Manager

Font Manager currently allows the user to:

* Preview installed fonts
* Compare fonts
* Easily activate and de-activate installed fonts
* Easily install and uninstall fonts
* Specify different directories to search for fonts
* Group fonts into "Collections", and easily activate or de-activate groups of fonts
* Export "Collections" to an archive for easy backup, sharing, etc.
* Provides quick access to the users font folder, Gnome font settings, Character Map, etc.


In the future Font Manager intends to allow the user to:

* Export "Collections" to a PDF "fontbook" (partially implemented)
* Edit font metadata
* Convert fonts to a different format


If you find anything wrong please post here or file an issue on the homepage but at this point only file issues regarding bugs. Please do not file any feature requests or issues regarding enhancements just yet.


Before installing please make sure to read

Replaced Fedora rpm package with a PackageKit catalog, since Font Manager is now available from the standard Fedora repositories. Fedora users can simply "yum install font-manager" or download the catalog and double-click it to have PackageKit handle the installation. :-)

Many thanks to Jean-Francois Saucier for getting Font Manager into the Fedora repositories.

Update (0.4.3)

This is just a maintenance release, a few options have been added to the preferences dialog, a few bugs were fixed and some obsolete files were removed.

Suggest uninstalling any previous versions before upgrading.
